The Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Commission on Deputy Ethics said that the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation should address the threats made by United Russia parliamentarian Adam Delimkhanov against the family of the former judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya Saidi Yangulbaev.
Nikolai Arefyev, deputy chairman of the State Duma commission on parliamentary ethics, representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, said that the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation should check the threats of the State Duma deputy from United Russia Adam Delimkhanov against the family of the former judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya Saidi Yangulbaev. It is reported by Interfax.
According to the parliamentarian, such threats are “a serious matter,” and it is not the Duma Commission on Ethics that should respond to them, but the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation. “Such a person, dangerous to society, must be registered, his actions must be controlled,” he said.
The day before, Adam Delimkhanov published an appeal in Chechen on his Instagram, in which he unequivocally threatened the Yangulbaev family with reprisal. He promised to pursue these people and cut off their heads. He also stressed that this is a blood feud. The deputy also promised to cut off the heads of those who translate his appeal into Russian.
Let us recall that on January 20, unknown Chechens broke into the Nizhny Novgorod apartment of Saidi Yangulbayev, a retired judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya, who is the father of a former employee of the North Caucasian branch of the Committee against Torture, Abubakar Yangulbayev. They introduced themselves as officers of the Chechen police and abducted Yangulbaev’s wife, Zarema Musaeva. The Kremlin called the incident a “fantastic story.” Saydi Yangulbaev left the country with his daughter.
After the incident, Kadyrov said that the ex-judge’s family “is waiting for a place either in prison or underground.” The head of the republic also accused the Yangulbaev family of involvement in terrorist activities, therefore, in his words, if they resist, they should be “destroyed” as accomplices of militants.
The Chechen authorities believe that the judge’s son Ibragim Yangulbaev is involved in the administration of the opposition telegram channel 1ADAT, which the republic’s authorities consider extremist. He spent about a year and a half in a pre-trial detention center, being tortured and beaten. His brother Abubakar, who worked for the Committee Against Torture (an organization recognized as a foreign agent by a decision of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation), was detained in Pyatigorsk in December and interrogated on the case of justifying terrorism.
