The Volga Region Spiritual Directorate asks President Putin to protect the rights of Muslims

Mukaddas Bibarsov, Chairman of the Volga Region Spiritual Muslim Board, sent an appeal to President Putin about the beatings of the head of the Muslim community in Sergiev Posad and members of the Tabligh organization in Ulyanovsk .

The document emphasizes that the hooligans who attacked A. Sadriev in Sergiev Posad were released immediately after the arrest. "It turns out that in the eyes of our police bandits are not criminals," writes the chairman of the Volga Region Spiritual Muslim Board.

Speaking about the beating of Muslims in Ulyanovsk, M. Bibarsov notes: "... law-abiding citizens who, at the request of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Volga region, visit mosques in various regions of our country in order to localize radical moods, are detained and beaten by law enforcement officers. It seems that our The law enforcement system is doing everything possible to introduce additional elements of tension into society."

M. Bibarsov asks the president "to take concrete measures to prevent the recurrence of such phenomena in the future." "It is you, as the highest official in the state, who must take all measures aimed at maintaining stability in society and the state, at protecting the rights of all citizens without exception," the appeal says.
