(Infocenter Russian-Chechen Friendship Society) The editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Pravo-zashtita” Stanislav Dmitrievskii reviewed Sept. 26 the documents in the criminal case filed in relation to the publication of statements by Aslan Mashodov and Ahmed Zakaev.

Human rights activists staged a protest rally in Vladikavkaz, the capital of North Ossetia, a Russian internal republic bordering on the restive province of Chechnya.
The protesters lashed out at the Kremlin for its move to scrap the direct election of governors in legislation that was adopted a year ago.
The rally was dispersed by a group of six or seven men in civilian clothes, a Gazeta.Ru correspondent reported from the scene.
The men wrestled banners and placards from the activists. Several protesters were arrested.

Her mother's embrace saved her life, but the child's legs, which were sticking out behind her mother, were blown off. Alaska-bred photographer's images bring Chechnya war into grim focus Just as Heidi Bradner has made painful portraits of Chechen parents whose sons have been "disappeared," she has photographed Russian mothers searching battlegrounds for their missing boys. Just as she has shown the agony of a Chechen man burned in an explosion, she has captured the vacant stare of a wounded Russian soldier after an ambush in which many of his comrades were killed. Those who have seen her photographs of Chechnya are struck by her ability to show compassion for both sides in this drawn-out war.
