Amnesty International has called on the Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chayka to conduct prompt, impartial and thorough investigations into events surrounding the situation in Chechen capital Grozny’s suburb of Krasnaya Turbina. In mid-August, according to news reports, the local residents were subjected to police harassment, unlawful detention and in some cases beatings after more than 162 villagers called on the Russian Prosecutor’s office to investigate alleged abuses carried out against their young neighbours, Magomed Taramov and Dzhamalai Tazbiev.
