Our press release on attempted assassination against Batukaev

MURDERERS RUN WILD IN OUR COUNTRY

HOW LONG WILL THIS SILENCE CONTINUE?

We encountered another assassination attempt while other assassination against Chechen brothers are in hot agenda who had to leave homeland since they resisted against Russian invasion which was started by the order of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

One of the gunmen of Ramzan Kadirov Russian collaborationist was blocked in the last moment attempting armed assault to Şemsuddin Batukaev former sheikh al-Islam of Chechnya on September 8^th 2011. Although he is one of the most important Chechen veterans living in Turkey an armed assault was attempted against Batukaev and his family for whom no security measure was taken however he was blocked 2 Chechen young men noticed him. Young men delivered assassin to police counteracting gunman drawn to shot them risking their own lives. 

This last event we encountered showed us our Chechen brother have no life safety once more. This political assassination attempted while three murders are still hot show us that agents and gunmen consider Turkey as a country they could act easily. It is regretful that none of governmental authorities made an explanation on a massacre acted in the midst of Istanbul in day time. In this case, when people and structures attempting to murder and massacre by mafia style act easier in our country.

We, Imkander call Authorities of Turkish Republic to pull their weight to provide life safety of Caucasian mainly Chechen immigrants living in our country and to take more decisive measures to those criminal organizations.
