Chechen refugee men carry the meat of a veal sacrificed to commemorate Chechen people who died during the 1944 mass deportation by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, at Sputnik refugee camp in Ingushetia February 23. Chechens marked a tense anniversary of the Soviet-era deportation of their people on Wednesday as a human rights body said Russian forces in the rebel region had killed civilians this month.
