Participants of rally in Grozny refuse to forgive relatives of suspected militants

After the refusal of relatives of the policemen, killed in Grozny, to forgive relatives of suspected militants, elders offered to attract the head of Chechnya to the settlement of the situation, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent has reported.

The issue of vendetta (blood feud) against relatives of suspected militants, killed in a special operation in Grozny on December 17-18, after they attacked policemen, was raised today at a rally near the mosque "Heart of Chechnya". Adam Shakhidov, an advisor to the head of the republic, urged relatives of the perished policemen to refuse from the blood feud.

Earlier, one of the female relatives of the killed suspected militants said that men of their family left Grozny for remote villages, after the blood feud was announced to them. After a rally in the Chechen village of Prigorodnoye, all the men of the family of Zelimkhan Bakharchiev, suspected of organizing attacks on Grozny, also left their homes. Power agents carried out mass detentions of relatives and friends of those killed. According to a police source, it was done to protect them from the rage of local residents.
