CHECHEN ASYLUM SEEKERS IN SLOVAKIA NOT MISTREATED – EMBASSY
By empty (11/18/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Slovak Embassy in Moscow has denied allegations made in the media that Chechen refugees arrested for illegally entering Slovakia are kept in prison-like camps near Bratislava. Media reports said that about 40 Chechens staying in such camps were not permitted to leave their premises or to receive visitors, that they were dressed in convict\'s clothes, that guards with dogs escorted them to the canteen, that they received practically no medical assistance despite some of them, including children and pregnant women, being sick, that they were denied the services of lawyers and interpreters and that the camps looked like prisons.
