Chechen MIA knows nothing about attacks on women without headscarves

In the context of the widespread information about numerous cases of attacking girls and women without headscarves from paintball rifles, the enforcement bodies of Chechnya assert that they received no complaints or applications on the occasion of such attacks in Grozny. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) also knows nothing about the facts of appearance of leaflets with threats to girls and women who appear in the streets with uncovered head.

"For some reason nobody from among victims of hooligan actions of unidentified persons (attacked women without headscarves, - comment of the "Caucasian Knot"), if there are such victims, addressed us with their respective applications. However, the issue is under control, and the situation will be followed. As to the leaflets with threats to women who do not wear headscarves, I hear about it for the first time," an officer of the local MIA said in his conversation with the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote about such incidents and published a photo of a leaflet with threats.
