Kucheren demanded to remove the “writer” general from the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan

Anatoly Kucheren, a member of the Russian Public Chamber, demanded the resignation of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan, asgat Safarov, who in his book actually substantiated the need to apply torture to the suspects, Interfax reports.

According to the human rights activist, if media reports with excerpts from this book are true, then such an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, especially occupying a leading position, is not a place in the police.

On Friday, the Moscow Komsomolets newspaper published excerpts from the memoirs of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan, who were published in February, which a month later was reprimanded in connection with the incident in the Kazan OP Dalniye, where, after perverted torture, a person died .

General Asgat Safarov in a book called “Sunset of the Kazan Phenomenon”, in particular, writes: “Let the“ humanists ”throw stones at me. But my deep inner belief: having taken someone else's life, the criminal must pay his own. And this is still very humane. Medieval cruelty had a logical explanation - if it is impossible to execute the murderer several times, this is too easy punishment, then life can be taken in the most painful way - to the edification of everything else. ”

It should be noted that the head of the Synodal Department for the relationship between the Church and Society, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, made such judgments last Wednesday. Talking with students of the Faculty of Television of the Moscow State University about the action of the youth punk group “Pussy Riot” in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, he spoke out for punishment for its participants. He compared the position of the church in this matter with the position of believers in the twenties. In his opinion, at that time it would be a “moral affair worthy of a Christian to destroy as many Bolsheviks as possible to defend things that are saints for a Christian and overthrow the Bolshevik power.”
