The Committee of the USA for international religious freedoms advices the USA to block Ramzan Kadyrov's bank accounts

On May, 1, the Committee of the USA for international religious freedoms (constituted by the US Congress in 1998) issued its annual report on religious freedoms in 28 countries of the World.

The following advice was moved forward in the chapter devoted to Russia among the priority ones: "The American Government should refuse a visa to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and block his bank accounts. The reason for this suggestion is persistent and outrageous violation of human rights and his supposed connections with politically motivated murders. The Government should call to its European partners for similar actions".

The complete version of the report is available on the web-site of the Committee at: http://www.uscirf.gov/images/book%20with%20cover%20for%20web.pdf
