Militants' relatives apologize to Grozny residents for their sons' actions

At an antiterrorist rally held on January 8, family members of the young people killed in the special operation in Grozny have apologized for their actions. Relatives of the killed young men have claimed changes in their behaviour before the attacks on the police.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 30, 2016, participants of the gathering in Grozny refused to forgive relatives of the suspected militants.

According to Aslan, a member of a local NGO, the antiterrorist rally was attended by about 1000 people.

The family members of the killed young men claim they did not expect them to do anything like they did.

Let us remind you that on December 30, the police released the family members of the young people killed in the special operation. However, according to a member of a local NGO, the police have repeatedly detained a second cousin of one of the suspected militants. The last of the detained relatives of the killed young men was released from the police station on January 5.
