Meeting of protest in Grozny

On 19 may 2003, an action of protest was held in front of the pro-Moscow Chechen Administration office building in Grozny. Above 80 thousand people took part in the meeting. Most of them were the Chechen women whose sons and husbands are missing. They were captured by the Russian servicemen in the course of "zachistka" operations carried out in the villages and towns of Chechnya. The participants in the meeting demanded to return their captured relatives and stop the tyranny and violence of the Russian military.
