Groups urge Putin to release rebel leader’s relatives
International human rights groups appeal to Vladimir Putin to free eight relatives of Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov, aged 35 to 68, allegedly abducted December 3 and 28 by security forces. Authorities deny detentions and say forces did not abduct family. The letter links the captives to pressure on Maskhadov to surrender, criticizing Ramzan Kadyrov’s security forces.

Gunmen attack French aid group in east Congo
Gunmen attacked the French charity Doctors Without Borders in Rabati 90 miles north of Goma, looting cash and equipment but injuring no one. The organization suspended most projects and kept 160 Congolese staff for lifesaving care as security deteriorates along the Ugandan and Rwandan borders. Separately, three Congolese human rights workers fled Goma after threats from renegade soldiers, Amnesty International said.
