YouTube users treat Interpol's refusal to search for Tumso as fair

Interpol has refused to fulfil Russia's request to search for Tumso Abdurakhmanov, suspected of calling for terrorism, the Chechen blogger has himself stated. Visitors to his YouTube channel treat Interpol's decision as just and fair.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 7 it became known that Chechen blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov received the status of a political refugee in Sweden.

In November 2015, the Grozny division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) opened a criminal case against Abdurakhmanov on participation in an illegal armed formation (IAF) in Syria. The blogger publicly showed his passport with border crossing marks, explaining that he was in Georgia and Kazakhstan exactly on the days when he was declared a warrior in Syria. Based on the marks in Abdurakhmanov's passport, on May 3, 2017, Interpol excluded the blogger from all accounting databases, treated his alibi as proved.

On December 3, in his YouTube channel Abu-Saddam Shishani [Live], the blogger himself reported about the new Interpol's refusal from searching for Tumso Abdurakhmanov. Tumso called Interpol's decision his "second victory over Russia in this international institution."

The blogger has explained that a new criminal case was opened against him in Russia on public justifications of terrorism and calls thereto.

In their comments to the blogger's clip, YouTube users have unanimously congratulated Tumso. Some of them stressed that they treat Interpol's decision as fair. "In the West, civilized people live, who think in freedom," the user Moon Nicht wrote, in particular.
