Judge Irina Ivanova could not hold a session, since the documents presented by the inquiry in support of the petition were classified as "Secret". "Meanwhile, regional courts have no the so-called 'secret office management'," said advocate Ruslan Koblev who is representing Boris Kuznetsov's interests.

Paul Goble
Vienna, April 29 – By a vote of 113 to 3, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe yesterday passed a resolution calling on member states to protect human rights activists, and although that document does not mention Russia by name, the discussion preceding its adoption shows that attacks on such activists there were a major reason PACE took this step.
Even that typically diplomatic approach was too much for two Russian delegates, however, who, while not denying there have been problems, suggested that some people who call themselves human rights activists are in fact something else and that the situation in Estonia, for example, is far worse than in Russia.

Chechnya's Strasbourg "anniversary" By Kirill Koroteyev, lawyer with Moscow’s Memorial Human Rights Centre, special to Prague Watchdog Moscow On April 23, 2009 the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued five new decisions on disappearances and killings in Chechnya in the cases of Alaudinova v.

Any of one them could be – and is – the 100th “Chechen»” ruling by the European Court. Though not to the exact day, but nearly so, these 100 rulings coincide with the tenth anniversary of the recently “completed” “counterterrorist operation” (CTO). The CTO began in September 1999, and in the cases of Mezhidov v. Russia and Isayeva and Yusupova and Bazayeva v. Russia it was established that Russian military aircraft carried out the indiscriminate bombing of civilians fleeing Grozny ... |

"We're no less interested in eliminating the incident and restarting the work of the ship than the crew. We hope to do it till the end of this week," the "Kommersant" quotes the message of the ship owning company.
