Chechenya mourns the death of Anna Lindh
Anna Lindh was one of the most devoted European politicians to the issue of human rights around the world. The Government and the people of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria will always remember her efforts to convince Russia to end the state of terror and impunity in Chechnya and launch genuine and transparent peace talks.
For four years Chechnya has been forced to mourn thousands of innocent victims of Russia’s genocidal war. Today, Chechnya mourns the death of Anna Lindh, one of the few European politicians that had refused to turn a blind eye on the Chechen suffering. Our thought and sympathy are with her family and friends.
