14 Chechen refugees detained in Transcarpathia
UKRAINE, Svalyava, Transcarpathian region. Border service officers stopped a car in the village of Solomonovo near Ukrainian-Slovak border, which was regularly used by a local man to transport Chechen refugees. 14 of them, including a woman and two children, were arrested in the home of the man who arranged transportations in the town of Svalyava.
Moukachevo border guard unit told PRIMA-News correspondent on 1 April that the refugees arrived to Transcarpathia via Kiev and Odessa. They didn’t want to remain at home due to difficult economic situation and lack of security. A network of guides operates in Ukraine who for a fee help Chechens move to Slovakia. The refugee trafficking route is now controlled by militia and border guards.

Human rights supporters fromBashkortostan rally in Moscow.
07.04.2005, 17.22
MOSCOW, April 7 (Itar-Tass) -- Advocates of human rights from Bashkortostan have gathered at a commemoration stone to victims of Stalinist repressions in Lubyanka square in Moscow on Thursday, demanding the resignation of Bashkortostan President Murtaza Rakhimov. Around 200 protesters with flags and slogans in their hands turned up. Some of them have prisoner overalls on.
The protest act authorized by the Moscow city authorities was to begin at 3.00 p.m., but was postponed because a flight from Ufa that carried the protesters to Moscow was delayed.
A 65-strong police cordon is ensuring law and order on the scene: the situation is normal, no incidents have been reported, a source from the Moscow Interior Department told Tass.

It is the next canard. Can you imagine, they have thought it up in order just to say something that we thought they were "employees of the FSK". Russian armies are in one kilometer from us. They have mined everything, they shoot everywhere. There is nothing to eat. A plane flies by, bombs everything. There is shelling constantly. We protect the village".

Beslan residents found disposable barrels from a Shmel flamethrower and a Mukha grenade launcher in buildings near the school, Susanna Dudiyeva, head of the Mothers of Beslan relatives’ group, said by telephone Tuesday. The Shmel fires compact fuel air shells, while the Mukha is designed to fire anti-tank grenades. On Monday, a group of the town’s residents handed in a used Shmel barrel, a Mukha barrel and several tank shells to the Beslan prosecutor’s office, and repeated their concerns that the weapons could have caused some of the more than 330 deaths of hostages — half of them children — during the Sept. 1-3 school seizure. «Maybe these weapons were used ... >> full...
