Drug addicts should be shot dead: Chechnya leader
The Chechen Republic's leader Ramzan Kadyrov suggested that drug addicts should be "shot dead" after a sharp increase in the rate of traffic-related deaths caused by drug intoxication. Kadyrov said it did not matter if the use of lethal force is against the law. Drug abuse in Chechnya had increased after the government imposed restrictions on the sale of alcohol.
