Local resident seized in Chechnya
Officers of some law enforcement or security agencies conducted a so-called "targeted clean-up" in Giliany, Nozhai-Yurt district, yesterday. A local resident was seized and brought away without the destination indicated in the course of this "special operation."
The details of the incident and the name of the detained man are being specified. There is information that the reason for detaining the Giliany resident was that he had taken part in military action during the "first Chechnya war" in 1994-96. When the first military campaign in Chechnya was over, Russia amnestied all members of armed formations in the republic though, the Information Centre of the Council of Nongovernmental Organisations reports.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 3/11/2006 5:51 AM Madness of war spares few in traumatised Chechnya Studies of internally displaced Chechens show 77 percent feel psychological distress. Seventy percent have experienced armed attack, 89 percent have lost someone close, and almost one in four have witnessed killings HIDDEN from the world, deep in the endless ruins of the Chechen capital Grozny, a young man smiles at his mother through a cage door. She holds the key, but Iriskhan’s true jailer is the madness he has suffered since the war in his homeland began just over a decade ago. Iriskhan was 18, a gentle boy who loved drawing and tinkering with electronics, when Russian troops first laid siege to Grozny, his mother Raisa says. Along with hundreds of thousands of other civilians that winter of 1994-95, he and his family found themselves hiding in cellars and fleeing through the countryside.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 3/11/2006 6:51 AM Mystery seizures strike Chechen women By Andrew Osborn in Moscow Published: 11 March 2006 Young girls in war-ravaged Chechnya are complaining of a mystery illness, stoking suspicions that Russia has used the republic as a testing and dumping ground for nerve gas and other poisons. Yesterday, it was reported that four women and two teenage girls have been taken to hospital with the symptoms, bringing the number of people to fall ill with the condition since mid-December to almost 100. The symptoms are extreme: blackouts, fits, breathing problems, nosebleeds, crazed laughter and hallucinations. Some of the girls who have been afflicted have had prolonged violent fits and spasms up to 25 times a day and have become so disorientated that they could not recognise their own parents. The authorities and some, but not all, of the medical professionals who have studied the problem have concluded that the mainly female ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 3/11/2006 4:04 PM Poison in the air When a sinister illness hit schoolchildren and their teachers in war-torn Chechnya in December, doctors were convinced it was a case of poisoning. Then the government came up with its own diagnosis - mass hysteria. Is there an official cover-up going on? Anna Politkovskaya reports Anna Politkovskaya Wednesday March 1, 2006 Guardian Awar has been raging in the north Caucasian Republic of Chechnya in the Russian Federation since November 1994. Over the years, officials in Moscow have given the war various names. Sometimes it is called "putting the region in order"; since the beginning of the international "anti-terrorist" era, it has become a "counter-terrorist operation". But it is never called a war, despite the fact that an estimated 70,000-200,000 Russian military personnel are conducting operations as if on enemy territory. The civilian population has taken the brunt of the military impact. For the ... >> full
