Gordon Brown on Anna Politkovskaya

March 13th, 2011

It's nice to see this piece in The Independent today from Gordon Brown remembering Anna Politkovskaya. I'm trying to figure out the timing of this move, given that it is not the anniversary of Anna's death, and given also the author of the piece: the former UK Prime Minister. It comes just as Russia turns its nose up at current UK Prime Minister David Cameron's eager (many say over-eager) cries for a no-fly zone over Libya, and as US Vice President Joe Biden leaves Russia, following a rough dismissal of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, with a veiled dig at his tandem structure of rule with President Dmitry Medvedev. Putin had suggested that Biden would have the clout needed in the White House to push through a no-visa package. Biden's curt response, 'Mr. Prime Minister, in case you haven't noticed, there's a real difference between ...

Biden Meets With Russian Oppositionists & Rights Advocates

March 11th, 2011 • Related • Filed Under

Representatives of the Russian opposition and human rights advocates met with US Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday to discuss civil rights violations, electoral fraud, and other issues plaguing Russian politics and society, Interfax reports.

Vladimir Ryzhkov of the People’s Freedom Party said Biden was interested in Russian media censorship and the problems faced by opposition parties in registering to participate in elections.

Ryzhkov and fellow oppositionists Boris Nemtsov and Garry Kasparov told the vice president that sanctions should be imposed against Russian civil servants who have grossly violated human rights, including the people responsible for the death of Hermitage Capital Management lawyer Sergei Magnitsky and those involved in the prosecution of jailed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

Other oppositionists at the meeting included Yabloko party leader Grigory Yavlinsky, Right Cause leader Leonid Gozman, Communist Party representative Nina Ostanina and A Just Russia representative ...

ECRE: Guidelines on the Treatment of Chechen Asylum Seekers in Europe

Submitted by admin on Saturday, 12 March 2011

On March 8th, the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) published a report in response to concerns about the situation facing Chechen asylum seekers in Europe.

The report was prepared in response to the need of protection in Europe for Chechens, and is mainly based on information provided by the ECRE’s Member Agencies and partners. It highlights differences in the treatment of Chechens across Europe, security and protection concerns in several European countries, the negative impact of the Dublin Regulation on this group, the lack of information from the UNHCR on the situation in Russia, and provides an update on the human rights violations taking place in Chechnya itself.

Earlier we published an article about the report and its presentation in the press.

The entire report is available HERE.
