Military men are interested in the dead

People of Chechnya express special concern of the fact that cases have become more frequent when officials of Russian special services come to the funeral and demand from relatives of the dead man to tell the cause of the death. In some cases, and it especially shocks people, the military demanded to let them inspect the body of the dead, thought all obsequial rites had been performed. According to Moslem customs, it is categorically forbidden to unwrap a ceremented body of the dead. Such cases of blasphemous sneering at the feelings of the believers are registered in the settlements of the Grozny, Achkhoy-Martan, and Urus-Martan regions of the republic.
