Ramzan Kadyrov's phrase about mass support of quarantine astonishes social network users
In Chechnya, 98% of residents support the authorities' measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus infection, Ramzan Kadyrov announces. While commenting on Instagram on his statement, local residents argue that people lost their incomes because of the quarantine regime, and the system of permits is excessively strict.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 1, the Chechen authorities announced the mitigation of restrictive measures and allowed walking not far from home and playing sports in the street. Meanwhile, the system of permits is still in force. The ban on collective Friday prayers in major city mosques was also lifted.
On his "VKontakte" page, Ramzan Kadyrov wrote that the vast majority of the republic's residents supported the authorities' measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus infection. Meanwhile, a lot of users criticized the authorities' measures on Instagram.
"People face mental disorders, and children became too nervous," claimed user hacievaeliza1980.
Due to the psychological fatigue from the quarantine measures, residents of Chechnya dare to express their dissatisfaction with the violation of their rights, despite the threat of coercion to public apologies, notes Caucasian expert Ruslan Kutaev.
In their comments, social network users point out the need for further mitigation of the quarantine measures. "When will it be all over? O Allah! I've lost my job already 2.5 months ago. I rent an apartment, and I'm short of money to pay the bills! Please open schools and kindergartens," user _amina0301_ asks.
Other social network users note in their comments that they face inconvenience because of the restrictions on movement.
