However, armed thugs from the pro-Russian regime broke the protest up.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the press-release from the Committee Against Torture, on June 24, at 12:30 around 40 people, including human rights defenders and ordinary civilians who have suffered from rights violations, gathered in the center of Grozny in honor of &#8220;the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture&#8221;. The protesters held pictures of kidnapped people in Chechnya and posters which condemned the unlawful actions of pro-Russian security forces. During the event, many journalists found a chance to speak with human rights defenders and directly with relatives of the victims. However, at the end of the demonstration, one of the Kadyrovites suddenly expressed his dissatisfaction with a poster: &#8220;We are against the tyranny of the police,&#8221; and demanded the immediate cessation of the event. The most active protesters, who have been directly affected by the pro-Russian regime&#8217;s brutality, began to argue with the Kadyrovites. After a short while, the leadership of the pro-Russian forces arrived and described the content of the posters as &#8220;public slander&#8221;. They then proceeded to threaten the protesters. At this point, the demonstration was stopped and all of the posters were removed. A written explanation was demanded by Supyan Bashanov, head of the Committee Against Torture&#8217;s Chechnya branch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Photos from the event:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.waynakh.com\/tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/grozny-demonstration-24-june-2011-2-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.waynakh.com\/tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/grozny-demonstration-24-june-2011-3-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.waynakh.com\/tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/grozny-demonstration-24-june-2011-4-4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.waynakh.com\/tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/grozny-demonstration-24-june-2011-5-5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Video from the event:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><embed src=\"http:\/\/blip.tv\/play\/g59YgsSuNwA\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"405\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" ><\/embed><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*Text was translated by Waynakh Online and edited by Michael Capobianco<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The human rights organization, &#8220;the Committee Against Torture&#8221; organized a demonstration in the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria\u2019s capital, Grozny on June 24.
