Russia urges Sweden to ban separatist website

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday urged Sweden to ban Kavkazcenter, the notorious Chechen separatists' website, RIA-Novosti reports.
The website, that has been the most powerful mouthpiece of North Caucasus separatists for about 13 years, was labeled extremist by a Russian court in September 2011.
"The fact that the website is being operated from outside Sweden starting from this summer, as Stockholm maintains, does not eliminate Sweden’s international legal obligations for the country’s authorities to legally ban the Kavkazcenter activities on its territory under the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee’s decision,” RIA-Novosti quotes the Russian foreign ministry's statement.
Kavkazcenter was established by one of the leaders of the Chechen separatists, Movladi Udugov, in then de-facto independent Chechnya in 1999. It was used to claim responsibility for a number of high-profile attacks, including the 2004 Beslan school siege and the 2011 bombing of Moscow’s Domodedovo airport, RIA-Novosti reports.
