Dagestan: A 'Wahhabi' village

Tanya Lokshina, Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch's Moscow Office

June 9, 2009

There is never a quiet moment in Dagestan. There are all the ‘counterterrorism' operations, when entire houses are destroyed and helicopters fire away into mountain gorges. There are explosions in the streets, and finding bombs that have not gone off yet has become a routine event. Dagestan provides a lot of news, none of it any good. And yet, few people really understand what is happening there.
