WOMEN OF CHECHNYA: “RETURN OUR CHILDREN…”

August 19, 2003 – (KavkazCenter – Chechnya) On Monday several dozen women were rallying near the entrance to the compound where the building of the puppet regime is located. The women were demanding that their relatives, previously detained by law enforcers, be freed.

Independent source in Chechnya reported that the women arrived from the villages of Tevzeni and Mahkety, Vedeno District. The women are demanding that the authorities report where their relatives are being detained and what they have been charged with. Their relatives were taken into custody on August 13 by the law enforcers of the invaders' and puppets' agencies.

The women claim that their relatives were arrested when they were fixing power lines in Vedeno District. The Chechen women are full of resolve and they refused to stop the protest rally. They motivated their decision with the fact that for five days in a row they were appealing to many puppet structures, but no results came out of it.
