Local documentation
and news releases
Non-governmental
organizations based in Chechnya or elsewhere in the North Caucasus
have been documenting human rights violations, the humanitarian
situation, local politics and other important information and issuing
press releases and updates for some time. They provide detailed
insight into the lives of people in the region and how they have
been affected by the ongoing violence. We will make these bulletins
and press releases available online, continually updating the collection
as we receive new material.
