Kadyrov dismisses Chechen deputy minister of interior for criticizing power agents

Alambek Yasaev, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Chechnya, has been dismissed. According to some sources, he is now in Moscow.

A source from the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) who preferred to remain anonymous has informed the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that the motive for dismissal of the high-ranking militia official was in his hard-hitting utterances addressed to the power agents from Kadyrov's clannish village - Tsentaroy.

Several weeks ago, a video record was disseminated in Chechnya, in which Alambek Yasaev was speaking to his fellow villagers from Oiskhar village (Novogrozny) of the Gudermes District, situated near Tsentaroy (Khosi-Yurt). Having condemned in hard words the actions of Khosi-Yurt residents, who, according to the deputy minister, were beating everyone whom they did not like, Yasaev called his supporters to resist them.

There is no reliable data on what happened afterwards. According to the source from the MIA of Chechnya, Yasaev was called for explanations to Ramzan Kadyrov personally, beaten there, deprived of all his property and under pressure wrote an application on his voluntary resignation from his post.
