Report on videos with Islam Kadyrov confirms Tumso Abdurakhmanov's version

Video records showing the brutal actions of the former mayor of Grozny confirm the statement of Tumso Abdurakhmanov about his conflict with Islam Kadyrov, YouTube users note.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the Chechen authorities have shown their dominance in a dispute with Tumso Abdurakhmanov, who criticizes the Ramzan Kadyrov's regime, by providing him with full versions of videos showing the brutal actions of Islam Kadyrov, the former mayor of Grozny. The blogger regarded the scandalous TV report about Islam Kadyrov as an attempt to get ahead of his posts.

On the air of the BBC Russian Service, the blogger confirmed that he had got all the video records back in early October, but he did not made the videos public to ensure that his informant could leave Russia.

Tumso Abdurakhmanov added that the Chechen authorities themselves showed how people were tortured in the republic.

In his video posted on YouTube, the blogger demonstrates the data of the video files: according to the system information, the video records were saved on his PC between October 4 and 10, i.e., 2-3 weeks before they were shown on the air of Chechen TV Channel.
