“The Committee Against Torture” has published a press-release about direct threats from pro-Russian regime’s armed thugs in Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria against their right defenders after the eventful protest in Grozny.

In connection with Vladimir Putin’s visit in Sweden, the Civil Rights Defenders organised an extra seminar on April 27, 2011. Olga Sadovskaya, from the organisation Committee Against Torture in Nizhny Novgorod, talked about the human rights violations to which people are subjected in their daily life in Russian occupied Chechnen Republic of Ichkeria. We present you a part of her speech which is about Chechnya.
