In Krasnodar Territory, judge rules to ask permit from the authorities to assembly
On February 20, the Oktiabrskiy District Court of the city of Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Territory, held a court session chaired by Judge Esipko, S. N., on the appellate petition of Vadim Karastelyov, expert of the "Novorossiysk Committee for Human Rights," to the magistrate judge's ruling. Consequently, the ruling of the magistrate judge was upheld; however, the sum of the administrative fine was dropped from 2000 to 1000 roubles.
"We intend to use all possible forms to appeal against the decision," Tamara Karastelyova, executive director of the "Novorossiysk Committee for Human Rights," has stated.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 2/23/2007 10:54 PM HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH President Vladimir Putin Responds to Questions About Russia’s Human Rights Record February 14, 2007 At the 43rd Munich Conference on Security Policy, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to a question posed by Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch: Kenneth Roth: You talked about the danger of a unipolar world in which one sovereign makes decisions without consulting anyone else. In many people’s opinion, in Russia we are seeing an increasingly unipolar government where competing centers of influence are forced to toe the party line, whether it be in the State Duma, the regional leadership, the media, business community, or nongovernmental organizations. Would a unipolar government be such a reliable partner when the issue of energy or security is at stake? President Vladimir Putin: I will begin with the last question about the unipolar nature of the Russian government. Today, the ... >> full...

At the same time, any violent measures to restore justice, including terrorism, are resolutely excluded the message says. More ... >> full...

February 23rd 2007 · Prague Watchdog / Tamara Chagayeva Thirteen years spent in a reservation By Tamara Chagayeva Sixty-three years ago, in February, the Chechen people suffered a tragedy that only began to be talked about half a century later. The wholesale deportation of people according to their ethnic origin, later categorized as genocide, inflicted an irreparable loss on many later generations. Yet exactly fifty years later, Chechens had to endure all the horrors of genocide for a second time - during two wars that were among the cruellest and bloodiest in the history of mankind. That is how those events are remembered by eyewitnesses of the tragedy who experienced them in the early years of their youth. Throughout the whole of their lives they have carried this pain, not daring to share it with even their closest family members born after the deportation. And no one knows how to ... >> full...

The raid came a month after police opened a criminal investigation into Dzutsev on suspected tax evasion. The North Ossetian police investigator leading the case, Aslan Torchinov, said by telephone from Vladikavkaz that he had no comment on the case. Dzutsev, who has contributed to The Moscow Times as a freelance journalist, said that he had paid his taxes and that the case seemed to be part of a campaign of intimidation. "The problems with the authorities began a month after the NGO law went into effect last April," he said. IWPR, an NGO with a global outreach, has trained journalists in the Caucasus ... >> full...
