Continuing Human Rights Abuses Force Chechens to Flee to EuropePublication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 10 Issue: 43 March 7, 2013 04:34 PM
 Adam Isaev, ethnic Chechen elected to the city council of Berlaar, Belgium (Source: vaydahar.eu) The massive relocation of North Caucasians to Europe is still under way, producing concerns among both the regional authorities in the North Caucasus and Western European countries. While in 2000, at the beginning of the second Chechen war, only ethnic Chechens were found among the refugees, today a significant percentage of them are from Ingushetia and Dagestan. This is understandable since the situation in these republics is highly volatile, with violence and human rights abuses widespread (www.hrw.org/node/104533). Rights organizations in the West remain deeply concerned about kidnappings and disappearances of people in the North Caucasus.
Ethnic Chechens remain the largest group of refugees from the North Caucasus. According to unconfirmed reports, about 60,000 people left Chechnya for ... >> full...

U.N. Panel Criticizes Russia on Human Rights TreatyNovember 23, 2012 6:05 pm By NICK CUMMING-BRUCE / The New York Times GENEVA -- United Nations officials issued a scathing assessment of Russia's compliance with an international treaty against torture and cruel and degrading punishment, highlighting, among a number of "troubling trends," the increasing intimidation of people and organizations trying to monitor human rights. The officials, members of the United Nations Committee Against Torture, said here on Friday that they were seriously concerned about "numerous and consistent reports" of threats, reprisals and deaths of human rights defenders and journalists in Russia. They also said that legal amendments recently enacted by President Vladimir V. Putin "undermined" the United Nations convention. The committee's comments concluded a two-day review conducted here at which the Russian Deputy Minister of Justice Georgiy Matyushkin, leading a delegation of officials from nine ministries and government departments, said the Russian authorities had "moved further toward the ...

Russian 'rendition': Kremlin grabs opposition figure from Ukraine streetsAnalysts worry that Leonid Razvozzhayev's alleged kidnapping from a Kiev street and subsequent imprisoning is start of a full-scale, no-holds-barred crackdown by Putin's Kremlin.By Fred Weir | Christian Science Monitor
Russian secret services have allegedly carried out a "rendition" by plucking a Russian opposition figure, Leonid Razvozzhayev, from aKiev street in broad daylight last Saturday and transferring him to Lefortovo prison in Moscow. The alleged kidnapping occurred just as Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was heading to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a variety of bilateral issues, including the price Russia charges Ukraine for natural gas. The episode has Ukrainian human rights activists in an uproar over what looks like the completely illegal seizure of a foreign national on Ukrainian soil, and it has left many Russian experts fearful that the much-predicted, full-scale, no-holds-barred crackdown against the anti-Kremlin opposition has begun. How much do you know about Vladimir Putin? Take our quiz. "When you think of the things that have happened in the past few ... >> full...
