Chechnya bans masks, to open fire on infringers
Police in the Russian region of Chechnya have new orders to open fire on anyone wearing a mask, the local interior minister was quoted.
Human rights groups report that most night raids and abductions of civilians in the region are conducted by men with covered faces, and security forces and troops routinely wear balaclavas. "(Police must) shoot to kill anyone who walks on the streets of Grozny or other towns wearing a mask," Interior Minister Ruslan Alkhanov was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.
