But after Three Days of Police questioning he was reclassified as a victim of A Crime , and the Second Man , 29-year-old Ruslan Mamaev, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, which he denies.

In an extremely rare development, The Investigation was handed over to the country's Security Services. For Tumso lawyer, Jens Sjolund, The Reason for the suspicion That another nation state behind The Attack is Clear . Russia .

Tumso Abdurakhmanov is One of up to 130,000 Chechen refugees in European countries, many of whom have fled the violent and tyrannical rule of the semi-Autonomous Republic's Kremlin-backed leader Ramzan Kadyrov .

He left three years ago after a run-to threats in with the then mayor of Grozny , Kadyrov's cousin, stated That he Disappeared , would be kidnapped, tortured, and possibly killed, Like so many other critics of The Regime .

With More Than 350,000 subscribers on his YouTube Channels - and all this despite the fact That the population in Chechnya is only 1. 2 million, he hits relentlessly on Ramzan Kadyrov has apparently limitless power in Chechnya , The Regime , the Human Rights violations and corruption.

New clouds began to gather for the bloggers, after a long phone conversation with Ramzan Kadyrov , the right-hand man, the Chairman of The Chechen Parliament, Magomed Daudov . In Chechnya , the General feared That she is personally responsible for the well-documented campaign of persecution of The Republic of the gay community, simply known by his nickname of "Lord".

Lord initiated The Conversation with Tumso But self-found, sharply criticized the blogger, then the whole thing posted on YouTube, in a series of posts longer than Two hours. Later, when Tumso publicly called Kadyrov's father Akhmat, a traitor for siding with the Russians in their 1999 invasion of The Republic , the Lord apparently decided That it was Time to teach Him a lesson.

Magomed Daudov declare a Blood Feud

In March Last Year , Mr for a serving of Russian State officials. "Tumso," He Said , looking at his phone as he filmed himself, "I'm officially They say of me, and of My Brothers . You know who My Brothers are. They talked About Akhmat [Kadyrov], the feud is a Blood . For as long as I have Blood in my veins, You 're my enemy, and The Enemy , of My Brothers . And we find You . "

The Tradition of The Blood Feud , The Revenge -murder of a murderer or their relative, is Still Alive and well in Chechnya . That Tumso had killed, no One seemed to be a problem for the Lord.

He went on to say That Tumso would actually be killed, he would only be an "incredibly Fun Time ". But for the Chechens, The Word for Blood -feud, the Mr - chir - Leaves no room for Doubt .

Magomed Daudov whispers in The Ear of Ramzan Kadyrov

it looked even more ominous for Tumso, when pro-Government Social Media broadcast, The Spectacle of his remaining family in Chechnya - an elderly uncle and Two other Relatives , You say That You are disowning the blogger. More Than That , You are expressly granted permission for Him to be murdered.

"Let them do what They want," said Tumso uncle, and cousins. "He is not long more a part of Our Family . From this moment on, if someone kills Him , we allow to take people to his Blood . "Was a Blood Feud , is publicly tolerated - apparently under Duress - due to the planned victim, the family.

came of The Attack , it was on the Lord's Birthday - a fact That reminds One eerily of the 2007 murder of The Journalist Anna Politkovskaya , One of Kadyrov and Vladimir Putin 's most prominent critics, was shot dead on Putin's Birthday , 7. October. In an exciting Instagram post after his release from Police questioning, Tumso filmed himself smiling and winking playfully at the camera, with the written message: "Happy Birthday , Daudov! Sorry, I'm a little late in the game. "

Then he added a Hammer emoji.

the Chechens in Europe and in the Diaspora say They Live under the constant Threat of retaliation and violence - visited, either on themselves or on their Relatives back home. Critics have been beaten and put under pressure, and Kadyrov has his opponents murdered, and well over The Years , and, as well as in Moscow and in Chechnya . Some were influential militant-rich, Sometimes terrorist attacks in Russia - But others were political rivals, or critics accused.
