So-called head of Chechnya reported today, more than 170 people have disappeared
for the last two months in the republic, however Kadyrov did not comment
the reason that caused the existing situation. It is no more a secret that
Russian servicemen kidnap the civilians, and that the number of the missing
people is over the three-digit figure. This also can be proved by mathematical
calculation - if 170 are listed as missing for two months, how many people
are missing for the three years of the war?
People, as a rule, disappear as a result of so-called "zachistki" - an operation
during which the passports of the civilians are checked. Actually it is a
retaliatory operation in course of which people are subjected to tortures,
humiliation, robbery, beatings, illegal arrests, and after which the lists
of the missing people are replenished with new names. Besides the Russian
servicemen the people of Kadyrov also kidnap the civilians. Thus the guard
of Kadyrov headed by his son has its private prison in the native village
of the Kadyrovs - Tsotsin-Yurt. Like the prisons of Russian aggressors this
prison is known for severity to the people kept in custody.
It is sufficient to look through the window of Kadyrov's office and look
into the eyes of the mothers looking for their sons, to find out how often
these crimes are committed in Chechnya. I would like to remind that a meeting
of the Chechen mothers in front of the Government of Chechnya began a month
ago and is still going on. The human rights groups have collected a great
deal of materials providing with the precise information on the detainees
and the time and circumstances under which the missing people had been arrested.
Thus, 4 people were detained today as a result of the "zachistka" carried
out in the Zavodskoy district of the Chechen capital.
