Local resident seized in Chechnya
Officers of some law enforcement or security agencies conducted a so-called "targeted clean-up" in Giliany, Nozhai-Yurt district, yesterday. A local resident was seized and brought away without the destination indicated in the course of this "special operation."
The details of the incident and the name of the detained man are being specified. There is information that the reason for detaining the Giliany resident was that he had taken part in military action during the "first Chechnya war" in 1994-96. When the first military campaign in Chechnya was over, Russia amnestied all members of armed formations in the republic though, the Information Centre of the Council of Nongovernmental Organisations reports.
