A human rights group has accused Russian forces and Chechen separatists of human rights violations in southern Russia. Amnesty International, based in London, states that perpetrators of human rights abuses operate with impunity in the Caucasus region, and those who have complained about these violations have disappeared or been killed. Amnesty International accuses Russian forces of carrying out extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, torture, and sexual violence. It also claims that armed Chechen groups have targeted civilians working with the Kremlin-backed government and have engaged in bombings that have injured people. Amnesty International references reports from some citizens indicating that pro-Moscow forces have threatened those who have brought complaints to the European Court of Human Rights. The organization warns that the Chechen conflict is spilling over into Ingushetia as well.
