On April 27, in Moscow, activists of the youth wing of the "RPR-PARNAS" held a series of solo pickets in front of the building of the Chechen Representative Office. The protestors demanded to question top-ranking Chechen officials and power agents in Boris Nemtsov murder case.

Boris Nemtsov was killed in Moscow on February 27. Five persons, including Zaur Dadaev, Anzor and Shagid Gubashev, Khamzat Bakhaev and Tamerlan Eskerkhanov, were detained on suspicion of involvement in the murder and put under arrest.

Yesterday, in Moscow, during the protest action, the activists replaced each other and stood in solo pickets. In their hands, they were holding posters with the demand to question Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, Ruslan Geremeev, and Alibek Delimkhanov, the commander of the battalion "Sever" (North), which employed Zaur Dadaev, the main defendant in the case, the "Rain" TV Channel reports.

The website of the "Dozhd" (Rain) TV Channel has posted a video with the statement made by an activist, who took part in the protest action and who held in his hands the poster reading: "Boris Nemtsov is killed. Question Ramzan Kadyrov."

"Now, two months later, we demand to find not only the perpetrators, but also the organizers of the crime and the persons, who ordered the murder. And, since many of the people, whom we are requesting today to question, are in business and family relations with those persons, who have been recognized the perpetrators of the crime, we consider it important that those people are to be questioned in the criminal case to investigate the murder of Boris Nemtsov," the picketer has noted.

No one was detained as a result of the protest action held near the building of the Chechen Representative Office.
