Cherkesov's mother calls information about her son voiced out by Putin unreliable
She asserts that the unreliable data about her son Aslan Cherkesov, suspected of murdering Yegor Sviridov, was presented by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on December 21, when he met representatives of football fans. At the meeting, Mr Putin said, in particular: "What happened with Sviridov is a tragedy; and I repeat once more: the man, who had been twice convicted, if someone doesn't know, is first of all guilty of this murder." According to the Prime Minister, once the suspect was convicted "for hooliganism accompanied by causing grave bodily harm, and for the second time - for drug dealing, for which he was convicted in 2009."

Svetlana Estemirova's cassation complaint rejectedAt its session held on December 22, the Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic upheld the ruling of the first instance court regarding the cassation appeal filed by Svetlana Estemirova, sister of the assassinated human rights activist Natalia Estemirova. The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told about it at the press service of the Court. The session was attended by the judicial collegium, a prosecutor and one of the defence advocates Zhabrail Abubakarov. "No media people were admitted, only other applicants were present," Mr Abubakarov told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Ahmetgaliev: Krasnodar law enforcers got interested in "Memorial" brochure because it criticizes themThe law enforcement agencies of the Krasnodar Territory got interested of the brochure "Situation with Former USSR Citizens in Krasnodar Territory", published by the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial" and the Youth Group for Tolerance named "ETnIKA", because the publication contains criticism of local authorities. This was stated by Ramil Ahmetgaliev, legal analyst of the Interregional Human Rights Association "AGORA" and advocate of Anastasia Denisova, head of the "ETnIKA". "The experts who pointed to signs of extremism in the brochure, interpreted criticism of the administration of Krasnodar Territory, militia and ZAGS (civil registration) bodies as kindling of hatred," Ramil told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. Mr Ahmetgaliev believes that in this case there were no legal grounds to initiate a criminal case under Article 282 of Russian Criminal Code (inciting hatred or enmity). "Criticism is criticism; there's no law to try for ... >> full...
