“Most of Russia's tactics in this war are not new. They were developed
first against the population of Chechnya at the beginning of Putin's reign,
but because Chechens are Muslims and Putin promised to fight corruption at
home, much of the West didn't care.”

“The last time Russia set up so-called filtration camps as they are doing
now with Ukrainians was in Chechnya 22 years ago. There were widespread
accounts of torture and people being disappeared.”

*Russia came under mounting international pressure to allow independent
inspection of detention camps in Chechnya
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/chechnya> yesterday as reports of
torture and rape of its civilians sparked a further exodus of
refugees. Escapees from a Russian "filtration camp" north of Grozny, the
destroyed Chechen capital, painted a picture of horrific abuses by masked
Russian prison guards. A Chechen man of 38 who spent weeks in the
Chernokozovo camp north of Grozny before bribing his way out said women and
men were being raped by masked Russians. "What's happening in these
filtration camps is unspeakable," said Holly Cartner, the executive
director of the Europe <https://www.theguardian.com/world/europe-news> and
central Asia division of Human Rights Watch. "We saw the same kind of
torture and ill-treatment in filtration camps during the last Chechen war.
The Russians must not get away with committing these abuses for a second
time."Note:  That was 22 years ago.  Now Putin is planning to get away with
these SAME abuses for a FOURTH TIME!!!*
