Report from the Chechen Republic
Grozny
A maternity hospital is under reconstruction
In January 2003 a reconstruction of half-destroyed in the course of the second
Chechen war maternity hospital, which is situated in 8th of March St. of
Oktyabrsky district of Grozny, has been recently started. In fact they build
the hospital anew - from the basement and new brick walls. Until this day women
who prepare for delivery have got consultations in a small room in the yard of
the former hospital. People hope that in case the construction work goes as fast
as it is now, women will soon get an opportunity to receive professional help
in a new hospital.

Pro-Moscow executive of the Minister of Interior Affairs comments on the
situation in the Chechen Republic
According to the executive of the Minister for Interior Affairs of the Chechen
Republic Akhmed Dakaev, after the terrorist act on December 27 he situation in
the republic is still tense, however, as he thinks, controllable. In the middle
of December members of Ministry for Interior Affairs continued to carry
on operations to maintain public order. As a result a large amount of weapons
was confiscated and many members of illegal armed formations were arrested. Who
exactly was arrested - combatants or criminals - is not clear. Dakaev also remarked
that at the beginning of the new year the criminal situation in Chechnya
has become better. If in 2002 during the first 7 days 78 crimes were registered,
this year the figure is 2,3% less. Nevertheless the executive understands that
these figures mean nothing as at the end of the month the situation may change.
Still from the beginning of the year all militiamen continue to work in intensive
regime.
We think that Dakaev wants the desirable to be real. To speak about the total
control under the criminals when the armed enemy managed to blow up the building
of the government is at least incorrect.

Forced disappearance in the north of the republic
Correspondents of the information center of the Society of Russian-Chechen Friendship
are constantly getting information about forced disappearances on the territory
of north districts of the Chechen Republic, which are traditionally considered
to be relatively peaceful.
On December 16, 2002 at night unknown people in masks and camouflage seized Mezhidov
Aslambek Khuseinovich (1979) who lives in the village Verkhny Naur of Nadterechny
district (25 Sadovaya St.). Nothing has been heard from him since then.
On December 16, 2002 the head of railway station in the village of Chervlyonaya
Khava Magomadova (1956) who lives in 10 Marks St. went to work and didn't return
home. The relatives appealed to many instances but in vain. At present Magomadova
is registered missing.

tense. Raids of local militiamen and members of federal forces have become more
frequent. At the block posts citizens of the Chechen Republic are searched
more carefully.
