 Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov.
The father of Umar Israilov, the former bodyguard of the Chechen President, Ramzan Kadyrov, who was murdered in Vienna in January 2009 after accusing Kadyrov of torture and giving evidence against him to the European Court of Human Rights, is expected to testify today (October 3) in a Vienna court at the trial of three men accused of killing Israilov. According to the Kavkazsky Uzel (Caucasian Knot) website, it is expected that Sharpudi Israilov, who spent about a year in a secret prison in Chechnya after being incarcerated by Chechen authorities trying to force his son to return to the republic, will tell the court about those prisons in Chechnya and name the people who tortured him (www.kavkaz-uzel.ru, December 3).

An interview of Akhmed Zakaev to the German magazine Kurier What do you feel when you hear the news from Chechnya?
In the past 10 years we have only heard negative news. As a person involved in all political processes this cannot but upset me. I realize the hopelessness of the situation.

Europeans should and could interfere in order to put things right but they turn a blind eye. Who plays the main part in the Chechen Resistance now? Do the liberal ... >> full
