From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/12/2006 2:08 AM Chechnya: Forgotten orphans In the safety of the small library of Grozny’s only orphanage Madina Akhmadova, 15, sits and incessantly reads Agatha Christie detective novels. “I’ve been here since 2001,” she explained sadly. “I came here after my parents died. Mama died in the second war, papa in the first.” Madina is studying in the eighth class of School No. 33 and says she wants to study law at university, train to be a lawyer and “fight injustice”. “First of all I will defend the rights of orphaned children,” she said. Recently, through the television programme Wait for Me - which attempts to reunite orphans with members of their families - two of Madina’s cousins were found in the city of Astrakhan. But Madina decided not to go and live with them, choosing instead to stay with the woman she calls “mother”, Birlant Kasayeva, who ... >> full...

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/12/2006 2:11 AM To kill the Chechen children The fact that Kremlin stands behind the so-called "unknown disease" of Chechen children in Chechnya doesn’t cause any doubts. Secrecy classification and continuous verbal game into the diagnoses only strengthen the substantiated suspicions of Chechens of the fact that Moscow used the special weapon against the children, whose consequences can be saddest for the victims of Russian terror. Exponential in this connection is the fact that not one international organization, not one government in the world even inquired, however, which strictly occurred in Chechnya, and from what "unknown illness" took to bed Chechen children. Sepulchral silence and only the person on ople, nothing significant 30 reportings into some western MEDIA, and all. Russia not the first time kills Chechens with the aid of the "non convention weapon". Russians have the wide experience of the mass poisonings of Chechens. So in ... >> full...

5/1/2006 Concerns about killings of journalists
Human rights defenders are concerned about the freedom of speech situation worldwide, in Russia, and the Caucasus.
Sixty-three journalists have been killed this year according to Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontieres or RSF), the biggest number over the last 10 years. Human rights defenders indicate an alarming tendency: those guilty of the killings go unpunished in the overwhelming majority of cases.
The list includes two Russians, the Committee to Protect Journalists says.
The body of cameraman Pavel Makeyev was found near Azov, Rostov-on-Don region. His killing may involve the organisers of a street racing pari-mutuel.
The car of reporter Magomedzagid Varisov was fired at in Makhachkala, Dagestan. He investigated the clean-up in Borozdinovskaia, Chechnya.
