Meeting in "Satsita" camp

Chechen refugees of the "Satsita" tent camp, which is situated on the outskirts of the Sleptsovskaya village, Ingushetia's Sunzha district, organized a mass action of protest in the morning of October 23. The inhabitants of the temporary accommodation place protested against new inspections in the camp which officials of the Chechen Government Committee for Forced Migrants intended to conduct that day.

Explaining their actions, forced migrants say officials of different structures inspect the camp virtually every week and pursuit the only goal ? to exclude from the lists as many refugees as possible.
