As Gossip Cop previously reported,Hilary Swank andJean-Claude Van Damme were among the starsin Grozny, Chechnya on October 5 to celebrateChechen Republic presidentRamzan Kadyrovs 35th birthday party.

The problem is that Kadyrov, according to theHuman Rights Foundation (HRF), has been accused of using torture, causing disappearances, and authorizing extrajudicial executions since taking office in 2007.

Now, the actress, who wished Kadyrov a Happy Birthday onstage, is apologizing for her participation.

Swank says she was unaware of Kadyrovs alleged connection to various human rights violations.

In a statement to the Associated Press, the Oscar-winner wrote,I deeply regret attending this event, adding, If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone.

Van Damme has yet to comment about his attendance at the celebration, where he declared, I love you, Mr. Kadyrov.
