Human rights ombudsman in Chechnya accuses neighbouring police of torture

The Associated Press

MOSCOW - Russia's human rights ombudsman for Chechnya has filed a complaint against police in a neighbouring province for allegedly torturing a man suspected of links to a police station bombing.

Ombudsman Nurdi Nukhazhiyev said in a statement late Tuesday that a Chechen man suspected of being involved in the April suicide bombing of a police station in Ingushetia had been tortured so severely that he now was in a wheelchair.

The man, Zelimkhan Chitigov, was hospitalized with injuries ranging from bruises to electricity burns to a concussion, he said, adding that Ingushetian prosecutors had opened a criminal probe into it.

The bombing, in the town of Karabulak, killed two policemen and wounded several others.

Rights activists accuse authorities in the North Caucasus of endemic abuses in the fight against a separatist insurgency.
