RUSSIA. Stari Atagi, Chechnya. February 20, 2002. Chechen man, 52 years old, showing his torture marks. He was just released from custody with the Russian Forces. During a 10-day "Zatshiska" (cleaning-up or mobbing-up operation) the village Stari Atagi was sealed entirely and searched house to houseby different groups of the Russian forces (Interior Ministry, Army, FSB, etc). The man was arrested, beaten unconscious and mock executed several times, apparently because he bears a name similar to a "Wahabbi Rebel". After 5 days held in a ditch he was released but his passport confiscated. All in all about 26 men had a similar fate--4 villagers who were apparently rebels were killed in a shootoutand 2 FSB soldiers where ambushed.
