Ambassador considers criticism of Chechen authorities to be US interference in Russia’s affairs

The US State Department, making statements about “repressions” in Chechnya, is trying to interfere in Russia’s internal affairs. About it declared Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov on Facebook.

According to him, the condemning statements of the State Department “are sustained in a prosecutor’s tone”, and the accusations themselves are not supported by the department with reliable information. The diplomat also called the statements of the American department “part of the frenzied information struggle” against Russia.

“In matters of human rights, the United States should improve its own “canons of democracy,” and not engage in moralizing,” the Russian ambassador to the United States emphasized.

The State Department called for the release of the wife of the ex-judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya, who was taken to Grozny

We are talking about a statement by the US State Department, which was published on January 27 on behalf of the representative of the department, Ned Price. He expressed concern over “received reports of abductions and arbitrary detentions” carried out by the Chechen authorities. Price pointed out that in recent weeks there have been dozens of reports of kidnappings and arbitrary detentions targeting relatives of Chechen human rights activists and dissidents.
