The UN department on refugees subjected Russia to sharp criticism, for it took forced measures to return home Chechen refugees living in Ingushetia.

Chris Yanovsky, a representative of the department, informed that 200 refugees had been turned out by force from the tent camp "Bella" in Ingushetia the other day.

The department showed a protest to Russian authorities. A Chechen authority official announced on Thursday that all tent camps of Chechen refugees in Ingushetia would have been liquidated by October 1. A presidential election in Chechnya is scheduled for October 5.
