"The fourth shot to the head": the Chechen leader authorizes shooting to kill to avoid incidents like the one in Dagestan

The leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadirov, has authorized the Police to use lethal force against protesters to prevent incidents such as the one recorded over the weekend in neighboring Dagestan, where a mob stormed the airport to attack people who had recently arrived from Israel. .

In both cases, they are republics located in the North Caucasus and with a majority Muslim population.. Kadirov has therefore made it clear after meeting members of his government in Grozny that local authorities will arrest anyone involved in unrest.

If they resist, he warned, the Police reserve the right to fire three warning shots.. “Then, if the person continues violating the law, fire the fourth shot to the head. Won't do it anymore. “It is my order,” Kadirov declared, according to official news agencies.

The Chechen leader has accused Western governments of fomenting the anti-Semitic attack, in line with what the Kremlin has also denounced, which has denounced external interference in relation to an attack that left more than 80 arrested and more than 20 injured.
