Government says mass graves exist all over Chechnya

[dArKeR]

The government Moscow has installed in Chechnya admitted Wednesday that there were more than 50 mass graves on its territory.
It said that up to 60,000 people had lost a relative or friend in the disappearances that have blighted the republic for the last five years.

Nurdi Nukhazhiyev, the chairman of the Chechen government committee for civil rights, said most of the dead were civilians killed in the past five years, many the victims of Russian military operations.

His admission implicates Russian federal troops in the death of possibly thousands of Chechen civilians during "anti-terrorist operations" aimed at flushing separatists and Islamic fundamentalists out of the province.
