"Sweep-up" at Ingush farm

In the early hours of September 22 Russian and Ingush forces carried out a "sweep-up" operation at the former dairy complex #1 near the Nasyr-Kort village in Ingushetia, in which displaced Chechens are currently living. Eight persons were detained and taken to the police department in Nazran.

The Chechen National Rescue Committee and the Society for Russian-Chechen Friendship cited other inhabitants of this refugee camp as saying that officers of the Ingush OMON (special police forces) had planted a grenade and a "Mukha" projector case to Abdul-Mejid Ustarkhanov, 49-year old. According to their account, Ustarkhanov, an alcoholic, was protesting against OMON's raid. OMON officers forced him out from the dairy premises and then, without calling any witnesses, "discovered" the weapons in his room.
