Purge in refugee camp
Today, officers of local and federal security agencies detained approximately 20 people during a joint "special operation" on the territory of the Rassvet refugee camp in the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya, Ingushetia. Law enforcers in camouflage uniforms cordoned off the refugee camp in Ingushetia at about 5 a.m., camp inhabitants say. Having dispersed over the territory of the camp, the military men began to inspect documents of its inhabitants.
Officers of Ingushetia's Sunzha district police department, where the detained men were taken, has told the Caucasian Knot correspondent that "raid actions to check passport regulations" were conducted in the Rassvet refugee camp. "Several people were detained and conveyed to the district police department until they are identified. They'll be set free after the appropriate examination," the source said.
