Chechnya is small and beautiful country in the Mountains of Caucasus. In all recorded history and reconstructable prehistory the Chechens have never taken battle except in defense.
In 1994 Russia did not accept the independence of Chechnya. Russia wants to control oil resources in Chechnya which is very huge at the mean time. For last 10 years Russian military machine destroyed most of the cities and towns killing, torturing and kidnapping innocent Chechens. Today the military is continuing its bloody business. For out of Chechen population of just over 1 million between 250,000 and 300,000 (25-30%) have been killed, and over 500,000 have been forced to leave their homes, since 1994.
The MEP Oliver Dupuis has been on hunger strike since 18 January 2004 in an attempt to urge the governments of the democratic world to face question of the Chechen genocide with determination. In his message to people of Europe he said: “The twentieth century was marked by many acts of genocide. Let’s make sure that another genocide is not brought to completion in the twenty-first century. We must redouble our efforts on the 60th anniversary on 23 February 1944 of the deportation of the entire Chechen nation to Siberia on the orders of Stalin”.
Chechen people, who are dying one by one every 20 minutes, very much hope that you will come and join us at the demonstration from 12.00 to 14.00 on 23 February 2004 in Merrion Square (near Taoiseach Department).
This is in our hands to bring an end to genocide in Chechnya!
The similar demonstrations will be at the same day in Brussels, Rome, Prague, Moscow and other capitals.
