In Grozny, thousands of people went to a rally in support of the Muslims of Myanmar.

According to the portal Lenta.ru, Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov commented on the "genocide of Muslims" in Myanmar, where several hundred representatives of the Rohinj people were killed. He called the organizers of the persecution of Muslims Shaitans and called them to curse. The Chechen leader also said that many people write about the need to bring troops to Myanmar, but "this is impossible, since he alone can not make such a decision."

"Even if Russia supports those Shaitan who commit crimes, I am against the position of Russia. I have my own vision, my position, "Kadyrov stressed.

In Myanmar (formerly Burma), the persecution of Muslim Rohinya, who were resettled from Bengal by British colonial authorities in the 19th century, was toughened. In Myanmar, Rohinjah Muslims are considered illegal migrants from Bangladesh and conduct a policy towards them, which is defined in the UN as a crime against humanity.
