http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/chechnya-just-made-the-harshest-anti-terror-laws.htmlJust a day after a deadly terrorist attack in the Chechen capital of Grozny, the North Caucasus republic's leader announced sweeping anti-terror laws that may just be the harshest in the world, punishing the terrorist's family as well as local officials.
"If a militant in Chechnya kills a policeman or any other person, the militant's family will be immediately banished from Chechnya without the right to return, and their house will be razed to the ground," Ramzan Kadyrov wrote as part of his announcement, apparently borrowing a tactic from Israel's anti-terrorism playbook. To avoid such punishment, Kadyrov wrote that a father who suspects his son is radicalizing must turn him over to the authorities or "stop him using other means," remaining frighteningly ambiguous about what those other means might be.
Before today's announcement, he had posted a photo of a militant executed by his security forces onto Instagram, boasting that "dogs die like dogs."
