On Friday, the day the theater was stormed by special forces, about 1,000 people gathered outside the theater complex, and 129 balloons were released for every hostage who died in the rescue operation. I will remember this tragedy all of my life. I arrived at the theater on Oct. 24, after 42 armed Chechen militants took 800 people hostage. The first thought I had was to reach some kind of agreement with the terrorists to free the children, women and elderly hostages. I was prepared to give the hostage takers any possible personal guarantee. Several hours before the theater ... >> full...

Khidriyev brothers detained in Ekazhevo Village have alibi
RUSSIA, Ingushetia, Nazran Region. On October 23, in the village of Ekazhevo in the Nazran region, Russian security officers detained local residents, brothers Maksharip and Amerkhan Khidriyev, reported the information center of the Council on NGOs in Chechnya (SNO) on October 25. The detainees are suspected of participation in the August 13 explosion on the "Saint Petersburg - Moscow" train.
A search was conducted of the Khidriyevykh house. Those close to the brothers assert that Maksharip and Amerkhan can have no relation to this act of terror. On that day, August 13, the brothers Khidriyevykh were part of a bridge building brigade working on piling concrete slabs at a bridge crossing the Sunzha River.

It would seem that HRO.org has become the first public resource in Russia to be confronted with an attack of such ferocity and persistence. The human rights resource has effectively become in the frontline of the newest stage of "cybernetic warfare". It should be noted that this attack does not only involve a consistent flow of tens of thousands of requests. The perpetrators have also managed to penetrate the website's extremely serious security system and insert virus infecting modules into the file system. These modules ... >> full...
