Killing of civilians continues in Chechnya

Ruslan Isayev, North Caucasus - In the night between March 29 and March 30, drunken Russian soldiers at a checkpoint at the crossroads between the Shali-Argun and Rostov-Baku roads opened fire against a GAZ-24 vehicle, killing the driver and a pregnant woman, who was transported to deliver her baby in Shali.

A day ago, Russian soldiers in the headquarters in Grozny's Leninski district killed a resident of the Kirov settlement Khasan Eldiyev. Late in the evening of March 28, Eldiyev was detained on the grounds of the suspicion that he is a Chechen resistance fighter.

The detention took place when Eldiyev was going from Kirov to his ill sister, Aimani Zarkhulayeva, living in the Trudovaya street in the capital's Leninski district. Releasing his wife at a check-point, Russian soldiers took Eldiyev to the headquarters in the Leninski district. After severe torture and beating, the man died on March 30. The soldiers have not handed over his body yet, claiming from the relatives a written confirmation that Khasan Eldiyev was a member of the Chechen resistance. Only if done so, they will hand over the body.
