Ramzan Kadyrov: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

His father later was elected president of Chechnya in a rigged election and he was killed in 2004 in a [[Suicide Bombing|suicide bombing]]. Ramzan, as his son, was highly-influential. Ramzan became the president of Chechnya in 2007 despite rivalries with warlords Sulim Yamadayev and Said-Magomed Kakiev and previous president Alu Alkhanov. Kadyrov fought against the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (ChRI) rebels in the Second Chechen War's aftermath conflicts, but he also sent troops of the Vostok Battalion to fight in the [[War in Donbass]] in 2014.

Kadyrov did not support the government of [[Aung San Suu Kyi]] for the treatment received by the Rohingya minority under his administration.

==Human rights violations==

Kadyrov has previously encouraged extrajudicial killings of homosexual men by family members as an alternative to law enforcement – in some cases, gay men in prison have been released early specifically to enable their [[murder]] by relatives.
