RUSSIA. Grozny, Chechnya. February 19, 2002. Chechen man who lives of digging oil in backyards. 3 days ago he was arrested and beaten unconcious by a Russian "death squad" when he wanted to cross the street in front of his home to continue drinking with a neighbour. He says what saved him was that he smelled of alcohol, a fact the "death squads" seem to appreciate. According to him other detainees were tortured by electroshock, needles under the fingernails etc. untill they admitted belonging to a rebel group. He was released the day before, has still difficulties to speak and his ears are ripped. NOTE: He fears for his safety, only to be published with mosaic.
