A demonstration against the war in Chechnya is being held outside the embassy of the Russian Federation in Dublin today at noon.
The organiser, Mr Brendan Butler, who has worked as an aid worker in Central America, said people were "invited to express their outrage at the Russian disregard for the human rights of the civilian Chechen people". Members of AFrI and Amnesty International are expected to take part in the demonstration at Orwell Road, Dublin 6.
