BBC NEWS | Europe | Foreign NGOs banned near Chechnya: "Foreign NGOs banned near Chechnya
A Russian court has ordered two foreign non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to stop working in Ingushetia, where they were helping Chechen refugees.

The Ingush supreme court argued that the UK charity and a German humanitarian group called Help did not have the necessary authorisation.

The Russian parliament recently passed a law tightening controls on NGOs.

The UK charity concerned was named as the Centre for Peacemaking and Community Development (CPCD)."
