The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees made a protest to the Russian Interior Ministry against the ban on the visits of refugee camps in Ingushetia.

According to the words of human rights activists, one must obtain authorization to visit refugee camps in Ingushetia now, and this noticeably complicates the rendering of help to the Chechen living there.
