The poisoning of former KGB official Alexander Litvinenko probably is not "directly" linked to the G.R.U. or F.S.B. if anything that I have heard or seen is anything to go by. After all, such direct and traceable action is downright stupid.
No, like the lady journalist who was gunned down on her way back from the grocery store, it was some disgruntled individual acting alone. There seem to be a lot of these disgruntled individuals acting alone, mind you, in the style of some 'Lee Harvey Oswald' fairytale ( of course the Mafia did not want to get rid of J.F.K. ... after all, he was only investigating them and trying to put them out of business ).

Minor scuffles broke out with traders who challenged the raid, and police had ... >>full...

On the 17 November representatives from several democratic parties, movements and social organisations appealed to the representatives of other states in St Petersburg not to allow civil servants who breach human rights by not allowing public protests to take place entry to their countries.
The appeal said: “During the last two years the executive bodies in St Petersburg, having received notification that public protests were to be held, in almost every instance refused to allow them to take place on fabricated and absurd grounds.
In our opinion, this is not only an infringement of Article 31 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, but also Article 11 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, because in not one single ... >>full...

Amnesty International and Memorial released yesterday the reports on tortures in Russia and Chechnya. The western right advocates registered over 100 cases of tortures in 11 regions of Russia, and Memorial declared 1804 cases of tortures taken separately in Chechnya.

It claims the police apply batons, bottles with water and other devices to exact confessions. The organization registered more than 100 ... >>full...
