According to the information of our correspondents in Chechnya, Russianb occupation
authorities hamper any movement of the Chechen young people beyond the limits
of the republic. According to information received , this is bound up with the
large-scale retaliatory actions known as "zachistki" that are about to take place
before the forthcoming so-called referendum. All young men are possible hostages
in the hands of Russian punitive structures, guaranteeing, according to the criminal
design of the occupants, the loyalty of their relatives in the course of the 23
March false plebiscite for the "new Constitution" of Chechnya.
