Novaya Gazeta appealed to the Investigative Committee of Russia with a demand to open a criminal case under the article on inciting hatred or enmity against the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. The reason for this was the words of the head of the region to the member of the Presidential Council for Human Rights Igor Kalyapin and the journalist of Novaya Gazeta Elena Milashina.

The application was submitted to the head of the department Alexander Bastrykin, the publication reports..

We are talking about Kadyrov's post, which was published on January 24 in his telegram channel and is dedicated to the abduction by Chechen law enforcement officers of the wife of federal judge Saydi Yangulbaev Zarema Musaeva.

In the recording, the head of Chechnya calls Kalyapin and Milashina "

On January 20, people who introduced themselves as employees of the Chechen Interior Ministry broke into the Yangulbaevs' apartment in Nizhny Novgorod.. They had documents for forcibly bringing retired judge Saydi Yangulbaev and his wife Zarema Musaeva to Chechnya for questioning as witnesses in a fraud case. Since the judicial status of Yangulbaev provides him with immunity, only Musaeva was detained.
