Ramzan Kadyrov has called on Russian leader Vladimir Putin to send in Muslim
ground troops to fight the Islamic State in Syria

“We should definitely introduce the death penalty. The sooner they’re gone from this life, the sooner we will have the order”, – said the Chechen leader in an interview with TV channel “Russia 24″. According to him, this must be done, because to keep these criminals in prison “wrong”. “And there they interfere and there recruit. The prophet said that where they appear, there will be blood, they must be destroyed, therefore they must be destroyed,” – said Kadyrov.
Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov (Russian:
Рамза́н Ахма́дович Кады́ров; IPA: [rɐˈmzan ɐxˈmadəvʲɪtɕ
kɐˈdɨrəf], Chechen:
Къадар Ахьмат-кIант Рамзан, Q̇adar Aẋmat-khant Ramzan;
born 5 October 1976) is the Head of the Chechen Republic and a
former part of the Chechen independence movement.
He
is the son of former Chechen President Akhmad
Kadyrov, who was assassinated in May 2004. In February 2007, Kadyrov
replaced Alu Alkhanov as President, shortly after he had turned
30, which is the minimum age for the post. He was engaged in violent power struggles
with Chechen government warlords Sulim
Yamadayev and Said-Magomed Kakiev for overall military
authority, and with Alu Alkhanov for political authority.
He
has come under heavy criticism from the international press and Russia, due to
alleged human rights violations, corruption, theft of public funds and
protection of criminals of Chechen origin.
Ramzan
Kadyrov is an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences
(Российская Академия Естественных Наук, not to be confused with the Russian Academy of Sciences). He
founded the Akhmat Fight Club and in honor of his adopted annual freestyle
wrestling international tournament Ramzan Kadyrov & Adlan
Varayev Cup. Since November 2015 he is a member of the Advisory Commission
of the State Council of the Russian Federation

The head of Russia’s Chechen Republic, Ramzan
Kadyrov, has likened the threat from drug addicts on the roads to that of
terrorists, telling ministers that security forces must not hesitate to use
lethal force to ensure public safety.
“To hell with those
who violate order in the Chechen Republic, they should be shot dead. It doesn’t
matter if it’s against the law… shoot them dead! Got it?.. that’s the law!” Kadyrov
said at a meeting with ministers and religious leaders, according to a
recording that quickly spread across the internet.
The
Chechen leader apparently lost his temper after learning new information about
the rate of traffic-related deaths caused by drug intoxication that has
recently risen sharply. All efforts made by authorities to reduce the number of
car accidents have been in vain so far.
Last
year Chechnya introduced strict laws that enabled police to strip intoxicated
drivers not only of their driving licenses, but of their cars as well. However,
the measure failed to significantly change the situation.
Authorities
in Chechnya also limited the sale of alcohol from 8:00am-10:00am. The
initiative, however, turned out to have a downside as well. Following the
restriction, the number of people using drugs in the form of pills instead of
alcoholic beverages soared.
Recently,
the Chechen leader said in a statement on Russian social network Vkontakte that
terrorism would be fully eradicated in the republic – and that the next step of
his policy would be a war on drugs.
“We have neutralized thousands of bandits
[terrorists] that came here from dozens of countries. A set of measures helped
us change the situation with drugs. According to various sources, Chechnya is
one of the most successful regions in this regard,” Kadyrov wrote, however adding, that
there's still no place for complacency.
Drug
substances are not produced on the territory of the republic while pharmacies
don’t sell mind-altering drugs, according to Kadyrov. However, the problem
remains, as drugs are still smuggled into Chechnya from other Russian regions
and from abroad.
