Beslan hostage victims exhibit photographs

AN exhibition of moving photographs taken by children held hostage during Russia’s Beslan school massacre opened yesterday.

The images show a collection of scenes - from the cemetery where victims are buried to a psychological rehabilitation centre where survivors were treated - and commemorate the first anniversary of the atrocity.

On September 1, 2004, armed militants seized Beslan’s School Number One with more than 1,100 hostages inside.
