Let us remind you that on March 16, the "Grozny" TV Channel reported about Chechen law enforcers who found in Moscow and forced 47 natives of the republic to return to their homeland. The number of the returned Chechen natives included "drug addicts, hooligans, and thieves", whom their relatives complained about. Relatives of the Chechen natives returned to the republic apologized for their behaviour and thanked the law enforcers for the measures taken. The apologies were voiced under pressure, human rights defenders suggested.
