A WAR SHROUDED IN SILENCE -- "Secrecy surrounds what human rights activists describe as a 'dirty war' in the separatist Russian republic, and many families never learn what happens to those who disappear. But Muslim's case turned out to be an exception, offering a disturbing glimpse behind the veil of silence maintained by Russian authorities." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article examines how many Chechens disappear during Russian "sweep" operations and describes how the case of one young man revealed the grim reality that remains hidden to many. TRACING THE DISAPPEARED IN CHECHNYA -- "Every day since the Kremlin began its latest campaign in 1999 to rid its rebellious republic of Chechnya of Islamic separatists, Russian troops have conducted roundups of Chechen civilians, women and men alike...some have been found in mass graves. And some are killed in detention and their bodies are then sold to their relatives." (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE) This article reviews the grim situation in Chechnya, where as the conflict drags on, the number of civilians missing or killed continues to grow.
