Puppets kidnap dozens of young men and used them as human shields

KC sources reported from Chechnya that young men, who are relatives of the Mujahideen, were captured and taken to an unknown destination in the Vedeno district early on June 26.

The gang of puppets from Vedeno district police department and other armed puppet gangs had participated in kidnapping.

Later it became known that young people were used as human shields. In particular, a villager of Dyshni-Vedeno, Mayerbek Kalumov, and a resident of the village of Vedeno, Muslim Yaraliyev, confirmed that they themselves and a dozen young men under the threat of execution had been forced to walk in the woods shouting the names of the Mujahideen from among their relatives.

At the same time Kadyrovites organized ambushes which had only one goal- too kill any Mujahideen who would respond to the calls.

Only in the dead of night the guys were allowed to go home. But the next day the young men had been captured again and taken to the woods and forced to repeat all the same.

Civilians, the relatives of the youths captured by the puppets, who are subjected to such a refined torture, are extremely concerned about the fate of their loved ones. They fear the new repression and terror on the part of Kadyrov's puppets.

These events occur against a background of sharply intensifying terror campaign carried out by the puppets against hijabs and beards, etc.

According to the latest data of KC sources, in the last 10 days in the capital of Jokhar Kadyrov's pupepts kidnapped about 200 young men for having "too long beards", forcibly shaved off their beards and subjected the victims to humiliation and beatings.

Beatings were also used against girls who get into the field of vision of the puppets because of their hijabs. Puppets not only do not like black hijab, but also the manner of wearing it.

Meanwhile, hatred towards the puppets and their ringleaders is growing among Chechen youth. Young people, in droves, and individually, go into the mountains to join the Mujahideen. And after each of the repressive actions of puppets, the number of young men joining the Jihad only grows.
