\"\"<\/a>To mark International Human Rights Day 2015, and the 21st anniversary of the beginning of the first Chechen war, EHRAC and\u00a0Pushkin House<\/a>\u00a0present a screening of\u00a0Barzakh<\/a>, a documentary by Lithuanian director Mantas Kvedaravicius. In Chechnya, many men have disappeared from their towns \u2013 arrested, abducted, killed \u2013 and nothing has been heard of them since. In the Chechen language,\u00a0Barzakh\u00a0<\/em>is the land between the living and the dead, a kind of purgatory; the film shows how families cope with living a half-life, doubtful about the survival of their disappeared loved ones, but never fully reconciled to their deaths.<\/p>\n

After the screening, we will be holding a panel discussion with experts on the region, who will examine in turn the human cost of the long-standing tensions in Chechnya. Joining Mantas is Ahmed Gisayev, a human rights lawyer who has taken cases from the North Caucasus to the European Court, and whom EHRAC represented in his own case against the Russian State. We have also invited Mariat Imaeva, a PhD candidate at Dublin City University researching enforced disappearances in Chechnya, and Jessica Gavron, EHRAC\u2019s Legal Director who has litigated many such cases at the European Court. The discussion will be chaired by Masha Karp, a journalist and former Features Editor\u00a0for the BBC Russian Service.<\/p>\n

Tickets cost \u00a310 (\u00a37 concessions) and must be booked through the Pushkin House website (please scroll to the bottom of the page).<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
