President of Chechnya refutes information about pressure on Aslan Maskhadov's sonPresident of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov has denied the information about the pressure exerted on Anzor, Aslan Maskhadov's son, and his relatives with the aim to force him to return to Chechnya. Mr Kadyrov accused the yellow press of disseminating such news and has noted that "son is not responsible for his father."
Anzor Maskhadov himself has stated earlier that he and his relatives were blackmailed and offered to come back to their homeland, otherwise threatening the relatives who live in Chechnya with execution.
According to Ramzan Kadyrov, he knows Anzor very well back from the first Chechen war. "Anzor knows that there's no pressure on him, nobody spoke to him and nobody is interested in him. If he comes back, let him live freely in Chechnya," said President Kadyrov in his interview to the "Russia Today" TV Company.

Battle at the murder scene (weekly review)By Dzhambulat Are 
GROZNY, Chechnya - There is still no complete clarity about the details of the assassination attempt on Sulim Yamadayev in Dubai on March 28. According to the Kommersant newspaper, the Hero of Russia was shot by a lone killer. Moskovsky Komsomolets claims that there were two attackers. It is already obvious that the Yamadayev case is an unusual one. The attack on the former intelligence colonel took place just as he was walking to his SUV parked in a parking lot at a housing complex. Other versions according to which he was on his way home or leaving it in order to go into town are not so important. The detail that gives us grounds for claiming that the assassination was unique of its kind is the presence of Yamadayev’s bodyguards. In order to get at their victim the ... |

Kadyrov’s acrobatic etudes (weekly review)By Dzhambulat Are
GROZNY, Chechnya – At the recent routine meeting between Ramzan Kadyrov and Vladimir Putin on March 20, the Russian Prime Minister expressed an interest in the republic’s economic situation. Kadyrov reported that that everything was in order: the economic crisis was affecting Chechnya less than other regions of Russia, and problems such as unemployment and the aftermath of earthquakes were being dealt with more quickly there. Scenes like this give the public not the slightest idea of the truly critical phenomena which are accumulating in the relationship between the federal centre and the Russian regions. Where can an ordinary viewer, listener or reader learn about the significant reduction in funding for the program for the restoration of the Chechen economy and social sphere? In the version presented by Russia’s Prime Minister, these are merely temporary difficulties that can ... |

SNA CHECHENPRESS, Current Affairs Section, 22/03/09 Situation in Chechnya, EPP-ED Hearing, European Parliament, Brussels, 18th March 2009 I wish to thank the organizers for putting war crimes and the human rights situation in Chechnya
on the agenda. The famous Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Elie Wiesel says the following on his website: - Sometimes we must interfere,
- When human lives are endangered,
- When human dignity is in jeopardy,
- National borders and sensitivities become irrelevant,
- Whenever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion or political views
- That place must – at that moment
- Become the centre of the Universe. Elie Wiesel is also known for the following: “The opposite of love is not hate – but indifference.” As a human rights campaigner I am appalled at the indifference by the so-called “International Community” in relation to world crises. It goes for war atrocities, crimes against humanity and even ... >> full
