MOSCOW. Nov 19 (Interfax) - Rights groups plan large-scale protests in Chechnya in response to the November 16 killing of three Chechen civilians by Russian soldiers on the outskirts of the Chechen capital Grozny, Nurdi Nukhazhiyev, head of Chechnya's constitutional rights defense service, said on Saturday.
The late night incident occurred on Said Baduyev Street on the outskirts of the village of Staraya Sunzha.
"Persons in camouflage uniforms and masks who identified themselves as law enforcement officials arrested Yusup Usmanov, Khusain Akhmadov and Dzhambulat Dushayev and, without explanation, laid them on the ground and killed them by shooting each in the back of the head," the Grozny police authority told Interfax.
The Russian Defense Ministry has admitted that the crime was committed by servicemen.
