Russia: Stop `Dirty War' Tactics in Ingushetia

Russia: Stop `Dirty War' Tactics in Ingushetia

Human Rights Watch urged the Russian government to amend its counterinsurgency techniques and address impunity for violations in Ingushetia to ensure that the situation does not descend to the appalling abuses that characterized the conflict in Chechnya.
