RED CROSS TO RETURN TO CHECHNYA.
Publication: Monitor Volume: 3 Issue: 106
The International Committee of the Red Cross intends to resume its humanitarian activity in Chechnya, an envoy announced this week. The envoy, Francois Bugnon, was in Djohar-gala for talks with Chechen government officials. The Red Cross pulled its staff out of Chechnya in December, 1996, after six Red Cross nurses were murdered in the village of Starye Atagi. No one has yet been charged with the murders.
