Nukha Khatseiv, former Chechnyan rebel
My photo of former Chechnyan rebel Nukha Khatseiv ran in The New York Times Monday January 26, 2009.
Nukha was a rebel for ten years before a head injury forced him to quit fighting and seek refuge. He traveled across Ukraine, Austria, Germany, France, England, and Greece before stowing away on a ship to Mexico, crossing overland illegally into the U.S., making his way to New York City, and eventually gaining asylum.
In the Times story, he raises an interesting question for us all to consider regarding his being labeled a terrorist by the Russian government: "Russians killed my relatives, friends, and broke my life. Why am I a terrorist when you kill my family?"
