Instagram* users expressed support for the fight to punish those responsible for the death of Pyatimat Yevkurova

Social media users believe the violation of the rights of deceased Ingushetia resident Pyatimat Yevkurova contradicts the principles of Islam and the norms of humanity.

As reported by the " Caucasian Knot ," Pyatimat Yevkurova, a seriously ill resident of Ingushetia, spent seven years seeking to see her son, whom her ex-husband had forcibly taken from her. She died without even seeing her child grow up. Her sister appealed to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, demanding that those responsible for violating Pyatimat's rights be punished. 

"We received a huge response after publishing the story of Pyatimat Yevkurova, who was separated from her son and whose grief led to her death. Now Zalina, Pyatimat's sister, needs your help in publicizing this, as those responsible have still not been punished," reads the appeal posted on December 10 on the Instagram* account of the "Motherless Caucasus" project. The post has garnered 701 views and 73 comments as of 10:20 a.m. Moscow time.

Readers of the post expressed outrage at Pyatimat Yevkurova's tragedy and her sister's fight for justice. "What will it be like for a child to live with this for the rest of his life? That he didn't even get to say goodbye to his mother," wondered a reader with the nickname dianabrodskaya . "We are unfortunately losing our humanity," noted zama202333.

"I hope those responsible for the death of the young mother and the negligent treatment of the child will be punished," wrote nastena_i.sl. "I hope the authorities are already noticing such terrible things," noted aishat_09090977 .

"Listening to one side (of the conflict) is like knowing nothing!" expressed skepticism from a user with the nickname nakazanieeotvrotimot38221. "There are no sides. There are a mother and a child who have a God-given right to each other," countered a reader with the nickname milk.cofe .

A particular focus of the discussion was the comparison of Pyatimat Yevkurova's situation with Islamic norms. "They rely on what's 'written in the Quran.' The comments are full of people who believe this. Naturally, they are far removed from true knowledge, from psychology, from the understanding that a mother is the most important person in a person's life, and without her, a child grows up with a hole in their chest," says reader gulnara.shakti .

"Were there really no options for resolving the problem delicately and maturely? Islam is very tolerant of women, so why is it so different in reality? Poor women, how much injustice do they have to endure?" seneyka_nailstyle echoes .
