Europe’s OSCE security body has accused Russia of shielding human rights abusers in its southern republic of Chechnya instead of investigating accusations of extrajudicial killings. Chechen authorities led by Ramzan Kadyrov have been accused of kidnapping and torturing suspected jihadists, drug users, activists and sexual minorities. An investigation into the claims by the Novaya Gazeta newspaper in January 2017 named 27 Chechens it said were subjected to extrajudicial killings in the North Caucasus republic. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said in a report Thursday that “[t]here can hardly be any doubt” that allegations of widespread human rights violations in Chechnya are credible, based on interviews with victims, witnesses, lawyers and local and international organizations. “However, no evidence could be found about cases where law enforcement officers were brought to justice,” it said.
A senior member of the U.S. mission to the OSCE said the 16 countries that called for the investigation “will remain seized of the horrific human rights situation” and keep pressing Russia to “end impunity in Chechnya.” “We urge Russia to muster the political will to do so,” acting deputy chief of mission Gregory Macris told the OSCE’s permanent council in Vienna on Thursday. Moscow’s emailed response declining the OSCE rapporteur’s request to visit Russia to draft the report called the accusations of rights abuses in Chechnya “biased and groundless.” Russia declined to appoint a second expert and called the OSCE’s so-called human dimension mechanisms “outdated and redundant.”

Ramzan Kadyrov (C) Chechen warlord and strongman.
Strongman Ramzan Kadyrov manages the Republic of Chechnya for Vladimir Putin with an iron fist. Dozens of Russian journalists, among them Anna Politkovskaya, have been murdered for reporting on the brutality of the Kadrov regime. The rumors say Kadyrov has a special personal villa dedicated to torturing regime opponents and citizens of the LGBT community. It was former Kadyrov henchmen who [supposedly] assassinated Russian political activist Boris Nemtsov within a block of the Kremlin in 2015. Kadyrov has also sent Chechen forces into eastern Ukraine. It goes without saying that Vladimir Putin will continue to turn a blind eye to these abuses in Chechnya. He prefers having the warlord Kadyrov keep the Chechen Muslims on a short and painful leash.

Putin couldn't care less what the OSCE wants.
Putin couldn't care less what the OSCE wants.
"Russia" doesn't take orders from the OSCE " you will you will
Chechnya is the worst place to be in the world, 90% all refugees in Germany from Chechnya . its an Islamic , tribal state, which won 2 wars against Muscovy , and Muscovy pays than yearly contribution 300% its budget
much like Hitler and Mussolini before him couldn't care less what UN wanted ...
The Chechen population is around 1 million, the number of refugees in Germany is around 1.7 million. By your measure, Chechnya should be empty right now
Given the UN did not exist at the time, that is not surprising
Yes, that's a fair enough assessment. Russia doesn't take orders from the OSCE and neither would Washington or Beijing.
much like Hitler and Mussolini before him couldn't care less what UN wanted ...
The UN was formed after both men were dead.
I encourage you to look into an information upgrade.

According to documents from Russia's Investigative Committee obtained by the independent Novaya Gazeta newspaper, two Chechen men who were killed in 2017 in a Chechen "prison for gays" were shot in the head at close range. On December 24, the newspaper published a report saying that Shoto-Shamil Akayev and Ayub Ibragimov were shot on March 30, 2017, a few weeks after they went missing on February 6. Chechen officials have said the two men were shot while trying to escape. The Novaya Gazeta report cites documents from the Russian Investigative Committee's investigation into a complaint by Maksim Lapunov, who alleges he was abducted in Chechnya in October 2017 and held in a basement because he was homosexual. He said he was beaten in an effort to force him to name Chechens with whom he had sexual relations. Lapunov's testimony reveals that "dozens" of other people were held in the same "prison for gays" when he was there. He said that he saw both Akayev and Ibragimov there.
The Investigative Committee's report concludes that the two men were killed but no criminal investigation was opened because "the circumstances laid out in Lapunov's complaint about his illegal detention were not objectively confirmed. On December 20, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe heard a report about human rights violations of human rights between January 1, 2017, and January 31, 2018. A large part of the report was devoted to the republic's campaign against gays, which reached a peak in February-March 2017. The report upbraids the Russian government for failing to investigate the reports or hold anyone accountable.

Chechnya lost the second fyi do not know where you get your information. The money paid to chechnya is towards repairing what they destroyed in chechnya as well as keeping putins favorite warlord in power and have the warlord fight the insurgencies for russia. To make matters more simple, chechnya even started the second war when they invaded dagestan and declared open war on moscow.
LOL, shadup Olgino, and pay your Muslim overloads, but once you will tell out loud "bla bla Chechnya lost the second", in Muscovy, local Muslims will do this to you , and what you can do? just cry like all little bitches do . much like these 2 guys, putlwer´officer and ex - solder
i love, this part, "what you did in Chechnya, boom , boom in ugly imperial face love, it!! I do it all the time" 0.21 .LOL. you are such losers, and push-overs mongols juchi
LOL,
So now you are bragging about the most ruthless terrorists in the world? but despite your nonsense of a post chechnya lost the second war and lost bad, they only won the first war and a short term independance because russia was a complete mess after the soviet union, and instead of quitting while they were ahead they tried to invade russia and paid the price.
You make some good points on occasion, but trying to rationalise anything with Litwin is a waste of time and I hoped you'd realise that quicker.
Litwin will argue black is white, such is his hatred of Russia.
Chechnya, incidentally, is a very good example of the mulit-culturalism of the Russian Federation, and how it (almost uniquely in the world) successfully accommodates both Muslim and Christian cultures. Kadyrov has been a pragmatic and sensible leader who realised the limits but also the potential of his power within the Federation.

Westphalian: Your rose-coloured glasses are that colour because they are stained with the blood and sweat of the people of Chechnya who have been killed or ruthlessly exploited to aggrandize this amoral, egocentric, megalomaniac who revels in death and bringing misery to others.
you can do better.
