NIYSO reported the arrest of a teenager for damaging a banner with Kadyrov

A torn banner with a portrait of Akhmat Kadyrov in the Grozny village of Staraya Sunzha became the reason for the detention of a minor local resident, the opposition Telegram channel claims.

Years of ruling Chechnya allowed Ramzan Kadyrov to build a total family cult. Leadership positions, key positions, awards and names in honor of relatives - all this confirms the course towards the "Akhmatization" of Chechnya. How Kadyrov makes idols of himself and his family is described in the "Caucasian Knot" report "In the name of the father and son: how the Kadyrov cult is being planted in Chechnya".

A minor youth has been detained by security forces in Chechnya on charges of damaging a banner with a portrait of Akhmat Kadyrov, the opposition Chechen Telegram channel NIYSO reported today.

According to the channel, on the morning of July 27, security forces found a torn portrait of Akhmat Kadyrov in the Grozny village of Staraya Sunzha. “According to eyewitnesses, an unprecedented number of officers gathered at the site where the poster was torn down,” the report notes.

Security forces began searching for the alleged culprit and detained the minor teenager. The channel does not know the personal details of the detained young man. “Caucasian Knot” does not yet have confirmation of this information from other sources.
