Kadyrov's critic reports detention of his relatives in Chechnya

In Chechnya, many relatives of Murad Aslamkhanov, a critic of Chechen authorities, who is living in Austria, have been detained, Aslamkhanov himself stated on September 12. He launched his YouTube channel after the resonant humiliation of Salman Tepsurkaev. In a video appeal to Ramzan Kadyrov, he stood up for his relatives, threatening to execute relatives of the people from Kadyrov's retinue living in Europe.

The video with Aslamkhanov's statement, entitled "Murad's urgent appeal from Vienna to Kadyrov Ramzan – Don't touch my relatives!" was posted on September 12 on his YouTube channel. In a video taken in the selfie mode, Murad Aslamkhanov said that his relatives, including distant ones, were detained in Chechnya.

"The talk today will be like this, if not, then another one. In short, there are two ways out. If something happens to at least one of my relatives, then first of all ... All addresses are completely here. The daughter of Akhmat-Hadji [Kadyrov's] sister is in this country. Here in Vienna lives a cousin of the 'Patriot' (Abuzaid Vismuradov, Vice-Premier of the Chechen Government, a fellow villager of Ramzan Kadyrov, – note of the "Caucasian Knot"). A sister of "Lord" (Magomed Daudov, Speaker of the Chechen Parliament, – note of the "Caucasian Knot") also lives in Vienna. Do you understand? If you do at least anything (to my relatives), then you will see what I'll do to yours," Murad Aslamkhanov says in his video, whose words were translated into Russian by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
