Inal Sherip, a member of the exiled government of Ichkeria, reported this in a comment to Ukrinform.
“We are working on the possibility of creating a separate tribunal for Ramzan Kadyrov and his extremely radical religious sect Akhmat,” the politician said.
The Ichkeria government-in-exile believes that the ideology espoused by the Akhmat unit, justifying its participation in the war against Ukraine and the killing of Ukrainians, gives grounds to consider it a religious extremist sect that poses a threat to the peoples of the Caucasus, Europe and Ukraine.
“This religious sect committed crimes against humanity in Europe. Religious sectarianism takes root both in Chechnya and in the North Caucasus and throughout the world. Therefore, the creation of a special tribunal for Kadyrov and Akhmat is very important not only for Chechnya and Ukraine,” said Sherip.
According to him, a large group of religious managers has been created in Chechnya with about a thousand people, many of them were educated at the University of Damascus in Syria .
“It is no secret for experts that almost all graduates of the Sharia department of the University of Damascus from post-Soviet countries are under the control of the Russian GRU. The special services of Russia have long specialized in the religious topic. Therefore, it is important to identify all those involved in the creation of the “Akhmat” division within Russia and beyond,” emphasized the member of the exiled government of Ichkeria.
He informed that he presented the idea of creating a special tribunal for Kadyrov at the expert level in the USA, it was also discussed with members of the inter-factional association “For Decolonization and Dismantling of the Russian Empire” in the Verkhovna Rada.
According to Sherip, consultations are ongoing regarding the mechanism of creating this tribunal, because there were no such precedents.
“If we manage to create a special tribunal for Kadyrov, classifying Akhmat as a religious extremist sectarian group that poses a threat, I am sure that we will destroy the structure they created and which today justifies the murders of the Ukrainian people,” the politician said.
As reported, “Akhmat” is a special unit of the Russian National Guard, stationed in the Chechen Republic and commanded by Ramzan Kadyrov. This unit takes part in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian authorities suspect the servicemen and the commander of the unit of involvement in the murders of civilians of Ukraine.
During a visit to the Kremlin in March 2022, the Chechen leader told Putin that his forces in Ukraine would help Russia “fight to the victorious end.”
