Memorial's
monthly update from Chechnya:
The
renowned Russian human rights organization Memorial operates an
office in Nazran, Ingushetia, from where its staff members have
been documenting human rights violations in Chechnya with great
scrutiny. Memorial Nazran publishes a monthly bulletin (with a two-month
delay for fact-checking) containing such documentation and describing
their legal efforts to help. CAN will make them available online
to provide the most accurate, locally collected information to our
visitors.

Stichting
Russian Justice Initiative:
Formerly known as the Chechnya Justice Initiative, this groundbreaking
initiative utilizes domestic and international legal mechanisms
to seek redress for ongoing human rights violations in Chechnya.
Together, its implementing partners—the Moscow office of the Stichting
Russian Justice Initiative and the Ingushetia-based Pravovaia Initsiativa
po Chechne—provide legal counsel to select victims of human rights
violations and their families. SRJI lawyers and researchers investigate
incidents of arbitrary detention, torture, forced disappearances
and extrajudicial executions and bring these cases to the European
Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France.
