Chechnyan blogger Imran Aliev, 44, ... ....

Aliev had political refugee status and was living in Belgium under police protection “because of threats out of Russia and Chechnya over his opposition blogging,” a senior French police official told the outlet.

Using the online handle “Mansur Stariy,” he became known mostly for his strident diatribes critiquing Chechen ruler Ramzan Kadyrov as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin, the report says. ....

“We had him under police protection for a reason,” a Belgian law-enforcement official told Business Insider, saying there had been “specific and credible threats on his life from certain political sectors in Chechnya and Russia.”

It was not clear if Aliev had notified his Belgian guards of his plan to cross the border into France.

Aliev had checked into the hotel with a man who was traveling on a Russian passport. Aliev’s butchered body was found only hours after he checked into the hotel on Jan. 30 — a knife found next to him. ....

The man he was traveling with is likely already safely back in Chechnya, another prominent blogger claimed, according to AFP. ....

Stabbed 100 times with his throat slashed. Did his killer walk him into the hotel?

Trump didn't "sigh" he came in his poop stained mega depends. He admires Putin for his abilities to silence his dissenters, and is envious that he doesn't have the same means at his disposal.....yet.

He has one U.S. Navy Seal he can call on at any time for a Trumpesque "quid pro quo"

Should he push hard to get his book published, knowing that he could pay a very steep personal price, or does he do like all the other septic rw'ers do and just bow down at the altar and confess his sins and deny all truth? Does he give one damn about the country at all because his party members sure as hell don't.

Soon he'll be executing his political enemies, if he gets re-elected and continues on his full-court fascist press. Bet on it. This is why he adores all of the authoritarian hardliners around the world. He loves the brutal power they wield.
