Kill them all: Said Medvedev enraged by terrorist attack in Moscow

The former Russian president promised to “avenge each and every one” of the victims of the massacre at the Crocus City Hall concert hall. report from March 25, 2024. The perpetrators and masterminds of Friday’s deadly terrorist attack on a Moscow concert hall must be killed without mercy, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said. At least 137 people were killed and more than 180 were injured when several men armed with assault rifles opened fire inside the Crocus City concert hall, then set the venue on fire. Four men suspected of carrying out the attack were captured. Two of them confessed in court and are expected to remain in custody until the end of May. They all face life in prison. “Everyone asks me. What to do?”… Should they be killed? wrote Medvedev, currently vice chairman of the National Security Council, in a Telegram post on Monday. “This should and will be done.” He stressed, adding: “It is much more important to kill everyone involved. All. Who paid, who sympathized, and who helped. Kill them all.” Medvedev previously stated that “terrorists only understand terror in response” and that “they must all be found and mercilessly destroyed as terrorists - including the state officials who committed such an atrocity.” The former Russian president promised to “avenge each and every one” of the victims of the attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall, regardless of country of origin, and status, insisting that this “is now our main and legal objective”. Medvedev’s comments come amid growing calls among the country’s lawmakers to restore the death penalty, which has been effectively banned in Russia since 1996. While the Russian criminal code technically has a provision for capital punishment, the courts are in fact prohibited from delivering such a sentence. Source:
