Russia calls the Supreme Commissioner of the United Nations on Human Rights to classify the report about secret detention centres, which criticizes Russia for its prisons in the Caucasus. Vladimir Zheglov, Russia's representative, called the report "confrontational" and stated that the document should be removed from the UN's official website, where it was placed last month.
