Russian human rights defenders second initiative of European Parliament members who suggest accepting plan of peaceful settlement in Chechnya
Russian human rights defenders seconded the initiative of a group of European Parliament members who suggest accepting the plan of peaceful settlement in Chechnya worked out by Aslan Maskhadov's government.
In opinion of Oleg Orlov, head of the Memorial human rights center, the European parliamentarians' initiative is a vivid demonstration of their distrust of Moscow's policy in Chechnya.
Maskhadov's plan supposes the establishment of the United Nations interim administration in Chechnya and withdrawal of Russian troops with simultaneous disarmament of Mojaheds' units.
