                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[9.Yo&#039;av Karny, Journalist, Testimony before the CSCE, November 3rd, Washington DC: "The Chechens do not deserve capital punishment....Their quest for independence is no less legitimate, no less warranted by a history of struggle, than that of any people I know of...Chechnya&#039;s fate has been ignored too often by the outside world. Their own holocaust, which coincided with that of the Jews in Europe, is still awaiting world recognition and Russian repentance. It is our moral duty to make sure that this tiny and stubborn nation does not perish." 10.Patrick Cockburn, The Independent, UK, November 3rd: "Early last month I visited Elistanzhi, where Russian aircraft dropped 30 bombs, killing 35 people. The explosions tore apart the village school. In the nearest hospital, at Shalli, the mother of a 9 year old boy called Sheikh Mansur, whose left foot had been amputated, was trying to comfort him with a Mars bar. In another bed Alet, aged 4, had just had shrapnel taken out of his stomach. The Russian air force denies it ever attacked Elistanzhi....Moscow shows few signs of caring about accuracy. It says the attack on the Red Cross convoy did not take place, despite the testimony of survivors (see next article)...What makes the suffering even worse than in Kosovo and East Timor is that Chechnya had not begun to recover from the last war. Grozny is a sea of ruins..Now the Russian army has told civilians to leave Grozny and Gudermes, the second Chechen city, to escape the bombs. But at the same time its aircraft are strafing roads and have blocked the route to Ingushetia. Only 170 to 180 people are let through each day...." (The Independent, UK, November 3, 1999). 11.Elena Bonner, November 3rd, Hearing Before US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "No loans, no aid of any kind...can be given to a country that is conducting such a war...This is a genocide." (Reprinted Moscow Times, November 9, 1999)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[5.Amnesty International&#039;s Secretary-General, Pierre Sane, met with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in NY on 2nd November and expressed grave concerns, citing reports that artillery attacks have resulted in civilian deaths and injuries, as well as forcing more than 190,000 from their homes. Mr. Sane said that "Russia seemed to think it could get away with such behavior because there was little media coverage and because Russia was a permanent member of the UN Security Council...Fighting crime and terrorism is no justification for violating human rights...International law is being blatantly ignored."(Reuters, Nov. 3rd) 6.Helsinki Commission, Commission on Security and Cooperation In Europe, Washington, D.C., November 3rd: There is a "horrific humanitarian disaster unfolding in Chechnya." 7.US Congressman Christopher Smith, CSCE, Washington, D.C., November 3rd: The "Russian Government applies indiscriminate force far out of proportion to its stated objectives in Chechnya...as was the case 4 years ago, thousands of innocent persons are being killed or displaced..." 8.US Congressman Steny Hoyer, CSCE, Washington, D.C., November 3rd: The Russian "policy is not only murderous, but incredibly short sighted...the war in Chechnya has not only become an attack on innocent non-combantants, but it will strain the fabric of Russia&#039;s democratic development to say nothing of the financial resources that could be used to build up a society, rather than destroy it"]]></content:encoded>

IHF President Ludmila Alexeeva, who also chairs the Moscow Helsinki Group, stated on October 29th, "Under the pretext of fighting terrorism, a real war is being waged against Chechnya, with tragic consequences for the civilian population...adding that in several Russian cities the authorities are conducting a campaign of ethnic cleansing...&#039;These events are no less dangerous for European security than the Kosovo crisis caused by the Milosevic regime last spring.&#039;" ("As Russians Bombs Chechnya, US Calls For Dialogue," by Charles Fenwesi, October 29th). 4.European Union President, Finnish Foreign Minister Tarja Halonen, "The EU insists on a corridor being opened....I am concerned about speed here...as representatives of a Nordic country, we understand that winter will wait for no one. We have to hurry." (Reuters, october 30, 1999)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Here are a few samples of some published international comments regarding Russian action against the civilian population in Chechnya:  <BR> <BR>1.Professor John Dunlop, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Washington, D.C., November 3rd: "It is my conclusion that this campaign of terror against Chechen civilians has been fully intentional on the part of the Russian military, Prime Minister Putin and President Yeltsin. Its principal aim appears to have been ethnically to cleanse hundreds of thousands of Chechens from their home republic, in what resembles a repeat performance of the Stalinist deportation of 1944, which eventually resulted in the Chechens losing 20-25% of their populace." (CSCE, Testimony, Washington, November 3rd) 2.Human Rights Watch, USA, stated that witness testimonies suggest that "there is evidence of war crimes in Chechnya." (Reuters, November 3, 1999; Web site for Human Rights Watch, November 9, 1999). Rachel Denber, Human Rights Watch says "the effects of the Russian campaign in Chechnya are &#039;tragic and mounting.&#039;" ("Victims Without A Voice: Chechen Casualties of War, Toronto Star, November 19, 1999).]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[HUMANITARIAN STATEMENTS: Russian Officials Claim There Is No Humanitarian Catastrophe: The Following Statements Are The Tip of the Iceberg Which Say Otherwise <BR> <BR>As the civilian death toll climbs over 5,000, with thousands more wounded or ill, 270,000 having fled, and tens of thousands unable to flee in the 4 months since the latest war began, the human tragedy unfolding in Chechnya has shocked the entire world. While Russian authorities deny stories by eyewitnesses, international groups and press, the reality is far worse than anyone can imagine. As Patrick Cockburn of the Independent of the UK stated on November 3rd: "In one respect the Chechens are much worse off than either the Kosovars or the East Timorese." On December 6th, the Russians gave the civilians inside the capital city an ultimatum: leave or die by December 11th. These horrific words are creating an outcry worldwide which we will continue to report. (BBC, AP, CNN, December 6 &amp; 7, 1999; Human Rights Watch, December 6, 1999).]]></content:encoded>
