Participants of the human rights conference in Chechnya find it "topical" and "critical"
The participants of the international human rights conference that has opened today morning in the capital of Chechnya state that "serious topics" have been considered at the forum.
"The dialogue was indeed topical and serious. The report of the Ombudsman for Human Rights in the Chechen Republic has covered practically everything that refers violations of human rights in our Republic. Thomas Hammarberg, Commissioner of the Council of Europe, has spoken about it too. These issues were also accented by Ella Pamfilova, Chair of the Board under the President of Russia for promoting civil society institutes and human rights, and by other speakers," one of the ladies-participants of the conference has told the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot." "It is planned to create a state inter-branch commission for searching kidnapped and missing people."
"The problem of violations of human rights in Chechnya has bee never discussed thus openly and broadly like today in the territory of the Republic itself," she thinks.
