Chechen students who were detained on suspicion of terrorism in Krasnodar had taken part in assault of Grozny on federal forces' side
Several Chechen students who arrived at the Krasnodar Institute of Law of the Russian Interior Ministry for studies were detained in Krasnodar. The correspondent of the REGNUM News Agency in Grozny managed to talk with Liza Edilova, a mother of one of the detainees. She confirmed five students, including her son, were under arrest as before. And they were sent down from the Krasnodar Institute of Law where they had been sent before by the reference of the Chechen Interior Ministry. While the other detainees were to be first-year students, Edilova's son was already a second-year student. According to Edilova's information, the most of the detainees had taken part in the assault of Grozny by federal forces in 1999 being members of the Chechen police forces.
