lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in terms of human rights, there is of course a great deal amiss in Chechnya. We have received reports from human rights organisations saying that Russian soldiers killed and apparently even executed citizens – I am talking about old men and women – in Grozny. Citizens are believed to have been burnt alive in air-raid shelters. We insist that these violations of human rights are investigated. Despite the pledges made, violations in, for example, Alfanyurt have still not been investigated. International government organisations and non-governmental organisations must be allowed access, and the Union’s general Council decided on 6 December 1999 to send representatives from the Member States to Ingushetia to study the humanitarian situation there. I am, to say the least, curious to know how they are getting on. The fate of Andrey Babitsky, the correspondent in Grozny of Radio Liberty, who was arrested by Russian troops, is a dramatic example of Russian policy. It contravenes Article 3 of the Geneva Convention of 1949 and is a flagrant violation of the freedom of the press. We want information from the Russian authorities as to Mr Babitsky’s whereabouts and his state of health."@en1
