Moscow, Oct 13: Hollywood celebrity Hilary Swank said she "deeply regrets" visiting a concert held on the birthday of the Kremlin-backed Chechen leader, who is accused of torture, abductions and killings by human rights groups.
The two-time Oscar winner said that she was unaware of the disappearances, house torchings and extra-judicial killings reportedly orchestrated by Ramzan Kadyrov in the southern Russian republic.
"I deeply regret attending this event," Swank said in a written message to The Associated Press on Thursday. "If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone."
