PRAGUE, December 22, Caucasus Times – An insurgents’ underground was tracked down in a sweep conducted yesterday by Chechen special task police, the Interior Ministry said in an interview with Caucasus Times correspondent. The tactical police squad encountered fierce resistance of several insurgents as the officers attempted to search the office of Czech NGO People in Need (PIN). In a firefight Tsakayev, 23-year-old leader of a group was killed, other militants were seized, a source in the Interior Ministry was quoted as saying. Several police were reported injured in the storm.

The law enforcement officers combed the office and discovered weapons, ammunition, phony documents of Chechen police officers and other evidence.

As of now, the arrested insurgents are being interrogated at a police station..

The incident appeared to be “absolutely unrespectable for us,” the Prague Watchdog quoted Mareck Vozky, the head of the mission in the North Caucasus as saying.

There are 120 employees, largely locals, who work for the mission.
Earlier reports said the police detained an employee of the humanitarian organization, who allegedly participated in terrorist actions.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
