24 years have passed since the massacre of civilians in Chechnya

On February 5, 2000, during the second Russian-Chechen war, federal troops carried out a massacre of residents in the village. New Aldy of Grozny.

According to the Memorial Society report, a total of 56 men, women and children were killed in the village, according to Human Rights Watch - 60. Before the execution, they were held hostage by the Russian army, subjected to torture and humiliation. Their property and livestock were also taken away, and their houses were set on fire.

The European Court of Human Rights found the riot police of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region and the riot police of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ryazan Region guilty of mass murder.

The “cleansing” of Novy Aldy became one of the bloodiest in the history of the Second Chechen War. 24 years after the tragedy, not a single person has been brought to justice for the massacre of civilians.
