A terrible find nearby Gikalo village of Chechnya (+a couple others..)
A terrible find nearby Gikalo village of Chechnya

On August 16, in the vicinity of Gikalo village of Groznensky district the locals have reportedly discovered a corpse blown to bits.

The terrible find casually had been found by a local tractor driver working in the field. "The bits of the human body were scattered a few dozens meters range," told Ismail Gamayev, the resident of Gikalo. "We had to collect the body literally by bits. One plastic bag was enough to put all bits, everything that remained of a human being".

The villagers believe the dead man became a victim of the extrajudicial execution perpetrated by Russian special task forces agents, the so-called "Death Squadrons". "It certainly has all fingerprints of Russian special task forces, the "Death Squadrons" what we call them," said a 62-year-old inhabitant Ozdemir Musayev. "If they get a man abducted, there is no chance for him to remain alive. At first they subject the victim to atrocious tortures, then either dead or alive, they blow the poor fellow up to bits to make it impossible to identify him and erase all evidence of crime. Last year my nephew had been killed in the same way. We managed to find just a few bits of his body, parts of a foot and hand".

Chechen refugees forced to return

Russian authorities have cut off water supplies to a refugee camp in Ingushetia, stepping up pressure on Chechen refugees to return to their homeland.

Friday's measure followed a similar move two days earlier that saw electricity cut to the Bella camp, home to around 1000 refugees.

"Officials came and showed us a paper ordering the water to be cut," one of the refugees, Aslan, said.

"They say they're not planning to force us to return, but this comes to the same thing."
