Chechnya Segodnya notes that the participants of the rally appealed to President Vladimir Putin «with a demand to stop the activities of Novaya Gazeta», Rain TV channel, "Committee Against Torture", as well as contribute to the extradition of members of the Yangulbaev family.
«Caucasian Knot»and the opposition telegram channel 1Adat claim that local residents were herded to the rally. “Many young people are students and pupils. Adult men and women, murids of different virds could be identified by their shape. What and why, no one could really explain. At work (study) they told me to come to the rally, that's all,» the source said.
In January, Chechen police detained Yangulbaev's wife Zarema Musaeva and took her by force to Grozny. After the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, called the Yanglubaev family terrorists, they had to leave Russia.
Yangulbaev's son said that in 2015 he was detained with his father and brother and taken to Kadyrov's residence because of criticism of local authorities . The Yangulbaevs said they were beaten and Saydi Yangulbaev was forced to resign. alt=»1″ />«Tear off your heads, work on you, you kill.» The head of Chechnya and the deputy of the State Duma again threaten the family of a retired judge
