Their Russian passports have expired and they are afraid to renew them for fear of official reprisals. Former independence fighter Mashadov was elected president of Chechnya in 1997, but was killed by Russian forces last March. The Finnish-Caucasus Associations says that his family has made a plea to President Tarja Halonen, saying that they fear persecution from Russian authorities. They are believed to reside in the Azerbaijan capital Baku, but say they no longer feel safe there.
