[KavkazUzel] The niqab can be a good disguise for criminals, given that there are no systems to find out who is underneath it, said retired Interior Ministry Colonel Amir Kolov. The niqab was previously used as a means of disguise, including during the Chechen campaigns, but modern systems make it possible to establish who is hiding underneath it, countered Sergei Goncharov, president of the Association of Veterans of the Alpha Anti-Terror Unit.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on August 9, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan disseminated information that a native of Chechnya, Ali Demilkhanov (also referred to by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan as Ali Demelkhanov) had wounded two police officers. The department noted that the man was moving around in a niqab.
Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan denied the information about the attack, stating that it was about an incident in 2017, and called the information about the movement of the wanted man in a niqab relevant.
The message from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan about the search for a terrorist who hides his identity using a niqab is a continuation of the trend set by the federal center to combat religious clothing, Dagestani journalists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" noted on August 11. The information that Demilkhanov, who attacked the security forces, wears a niqab for secrecy looks dubious against the backdrop of the ongoing campaign against religious clothing, social network users noted.
A temporary ban on wearing niqabs has been introduced in Dagestan; it will remain in effect until a new theological opinion, the republic's Muftiate announced on July 3. Statements by representatives of the Islamic clergy on the issue of the fatwa on the niqab have sparked a debate about the presence of "radical" mosques in Dagestan and, on the contrary, those loyal to the Muftiate. Disputes have also arisen about whether the ban is mandatory or advisory in nature. The "Caucasian Knot" reference " Fatwa on the ban on the niqab - a law or a recommendation " contains expert opinions on whether the ban of the Muftiate of Dagestan will be implemented.
Former security officials interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" assessed the possibility of terrorists using the niqab for camouflage.
Retired Interior Ministry Colonel Amir Kolov noted that, apart from the report of Ali Demilkhanov, who is wanted, moving around in a niqab, he has never heard of terrorists using the niqab for camouflage. He also believed that such cases could be repeated in the future, since the niqab can be a good disguise for criminals. "As far as I know, there are no systems to identify who is hiding under the niqab," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The opposite point of view was expressed by Sergei Goncharov, President of the Association of Veterans of the Anti-Terror Unit "Alpha". According to him, he has repeatedly heard of cases of the niqab being used for camouflage - both during the war in Afghanistan and during the Chechen wars. "The niqab makes identification very difficult.
However, modern technologies still allow us to identify who is wearing it," S. Goncharov emphasized. Let us recall that on June 23, on the Day of the Holy Trinity, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and an Orthodox church in Derbent and Makhachkala. As a result, at least 22 people were killed and 46 were injured.
Following the militant attacks in Dagestan, the issue of banning religious clothing was raised in the republics of the North Caucasus. Who spoke out against hijabs and niqabs, how attempts were made in the country to introduce a ban on wearing religious clothing in schools and universities - read in the "Caucasian Knot" reference "The Main Thing About the New Attempt to Ban Hijabs in Russia".
