The Human Rights Association Amnesty International has called for an inquiry into how the Russian government killed tens of people in a theatre by pumping in an unidentified toxic gas. The theatre was occupied at the time by an armed milita holding the audience hostage.

There are also reports that hostage takers were murdered by Russian security services while unconscious.
