Russians Use Slave Labor on Their Ships
Publication time: 17 December 2006, 10:17
The Russian ship Merchant Brilliant was stopped on Friday last as it attempted to leave Dublin Port. The International Transport Federation stopped the vessel from leaving, as it believes the labor agency owes the crew around 150,000 in pay arrears.
A High Court order was obtained to detain the ship. The Federation's inspectors say they have uncovered evidence of systematic underpayment and claim that the 20 Latvian and Russian crew members may be owed as much as 150,000 in back pay
The ITF says the vessel will not be released until the crew has been paid. Earlier this month, another Russian ship, the Merchant Bravery, was involved in a similar slave labor activity and had to pay thousands in back pay.

This is the most inaccessible parts of Chechnya, with narrow paths threading along cliffs and rivers winding below. Bears and wolves come out of the thick forests to attack cattle. The occasional houses, perched on high ground, are situated far from one another and only the villages of Sharoi and Kiri contain a dozen houses grouped together. During the first Russian-Chechen War of 1994-6, the fighting did not reach here. But as the Russian aggression that re-started in 1999 has ebbed, Russian terrorism has actually increased in the Sharoi district.

This demonstration symbolically demonstrates that today the contents of the fundamental document of the state do not carry any weight – the constitution has simply become a book cover, nobody is interested in the text within and nobody takes account of it, said “Defence”. On 12 December the first action by the Kemerovsk branch of “Defence” took place. The demonstration in the centre of the city, near the post office, went ahead under the slogan “The Constitution defends your rights ... >> full...
