<br/><br/> "August [2002] began the third year of Vladimir Putin's 'antiterrorist operation' in Chechnya. Today it is not pitched battles but constant 'cleansing' or 'sweep' operations (zachistki) that are devastating the tiny southern republic." (AMNESTY NOW) The author reports on the brutal "sweep" operations being conducted by the Russian military in Chechnya and describes the rights violations that often occur.
