It reports extensively on official corruption and violations of human rights in the conflict torn republic. Please join us in calling for a thorough, prompt, and independent investigation into the death of Magomed Yevloyev. The investigation must be carried out by a credible independent authority, not by the Ingush authorities implicated in his killing.
