Teacher ceases to teach children the Russian language because of police beating

A teacher of Russian language and literature from the mountain village of Benoy-
Vedeno has told President Putin in a letter that he is ceasing to teach 
children the language. Alavdi Akhmatov felt he had no option but to write such 
a letter because of what happened to him in an incident in early May in 
neighbouring Dagestan, near the Chechen border. 

During his visit to Dagestan he was badly beaten without any reason by local 
police in the village of Tukhchar in the Novolaksky district. His wife and 
children who were present in the car were also subjected to taunts and mockery.
