Chechen woman appeals to Prosecutor's Office to help return her child from Iraq

A mother of a four-year-old boy, captured in the Iraqi city of Mosul, has appealed to the Chechen Prosecutor's Office with a request for help in returning the child home. This was reported by a source from the Chechen Prosecutor's Office.

The "Caucasian Knot" has informed that on July 16, in Chechnya, users of social networks began disseminating a video record in which Iraqi soldiers demonstrated a Chechen boy captured by them during the battles for the city of Mosul. In 2015, the boy, after the divorce of his parents, was secretly from his mother taken to Syria (according to other sources to Iraq) by his father, who joined the ranks of the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS) banned in Russia.

"On July 18, the Chechen Prosecutor was addressed by a woman from of the Grozny District, a mother of a four-year-old boy captured in the Iraqi city of Mosul. The woman said that in October 2015, the child was actually kidnapped by her former husband and without her knowledge taken to Syria. The woman appeals for help in returning her child home," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told by an official from the Chechen Prosecutor's Office.

The Chechen Prosecutor has issued the instructions to initiate the activities to return the child to his mother, reported the Chechen Prosecutor's Office.
