A district prosecutor’s office in Russia’s Republic of Chechnya has demanded to block internet access to websites that publish cartoons created by the French Charlie Hebdo weekly, the Chechen prosecutor general’s office said in a statement.
"While monitoring the internet, the (Shalinsky) District Prosecutor’s office came across some drawings and cartoons aimed at supporting the French satirical magazine, which seek to hurt religious feelings," the statement reads.
"This caused a lawsuit to be filed with Grozny’s Leninsky District Court, demanding that internet access to this content, that may instigate national, racial and religious hatred and enmity, be blocked," TASS cited the statement as saying.
