Early in the morning on July 21, the camp of radical ecologists in Angarsk (Irkutsk Region), who are holding a protest action against processing of nuclear wastes at the Angarsk Electrolysis Chemical Combine, was attacked by a group of about 20 unknown persons, one of Volgograd activists of the protest camp has telephoned to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to an eyewitness, the pogromists had obvious neo-Nazi appearance. They were severely beating the people sleeping in the camp, tore down and set the tents on fire. The eyewitness has supposed that among the victims there could be activists from the South Federal District (SFD) of Russia.
The "Interfax" Agency was informed at the Chief Department of Internal Affairs (GUVD) of the Irkutsk Region that one of the victims of the attack on the Angarsk camp of ecologists subsequently died from inflicted wounds.
On July 20, an activist of the camp telephoned to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent and said that the protest camp was visited by militiamen who stated that an administrative case had been initiated on the fact of antinuclear graffiti that appeared on the walls of city buildings, and the whole camp was under suspicion; they also made a search.
The activists who were present in the camp correctly pointed to the militiamen to the legal violations in their words and actions: the absence of officially drawn up documents for conducting a search of the camp, violation of the principle of presumption of innocence, and absence of witnesses in the course of the search.
