Akhmad Kadyrov's forces set resistance fighter’s house ablaze

Ruslan Isayev, North Caucasus - The house of a Chechen resistance fighter was burnt to the ground by the security service of Chechnya's Moscow-backed leader Akhmad Kadyrov.

Several days ago Kadyrov's armed men broke into Mukharba Temiraliyev’s home in the Sagunty village in the Nozhai-Yurtovsky district in eastern Chechnya. They beat his wife and aged parents and set the house on fire.

The "Kadyrovites" stated that from now on they will use this method on the families of resistance fighters who refuse to lay down their arms.

Earlier this year, Moscow-backed law enforcement agencies arrested scores of relatives of Chechen guerrillas in order to force them to surrender and publicly recant their sins.

This was the fate of Magomed Khanbiyev, former Defense Minister of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. After his relatives were arrested in early March, he surrendered to the Chechen authorities. And similar cases have been reported in other parts of Chechnya.
