GENEVA — Russia urged the U.N.’s top human-rights body Thursday to suppress a report on secret detention centers that includes interviews with unnamed Chechens alleging they were tortured in covert prisons operated by Moscow as part of its fight against Caucasus separatists.
The study by a group of independent human-rights experts shouldn’t be published, a Russian diplomat told the U.N. Human Rights Council.
Vladimir Zheglov said the report was “confrontational.”
