On July 12th, the Zamoskvorechy Court of Moscow satisfied the petition of Mikhail Trepashkin’s defense lawyer Elena Liptser about Trepashkin’s personal participation in the August 9th court session concerning the legality of Trepashkin’s placement in the Lower Tagil colony in Lower Tagil. By law, prisoners have the right to serve their sentences near their homes, and Mikhail Trepashkin, who lives in Moscow, was sent to the Urals. Trepashkin’s participation in court is necessary because only Trepashkin can explain many relevant points. Trepashkin has the right to come to Moscow because he is serving his sentence in a prison colony setting, and not in a jail. Trepashkin was sent a summons about his presence in the Zamoskvorechy Court. A second copy of the summons was sent to ... >> full...

Often defined as a combination of power, prejudice and discrimination." This is how the British Library defines racism on its Web site. The above definition hardly deviates from the essence of almost all definitions of the ominous concept. And, indeed, the concept is being fully utilized with Israel's onslaught against the Palestinians, and the international community and media's mild, if not accommodating response to the onslaught. The capture of Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit is an act of self-defense. According to international law and the Geneva Conventions, he ... >> full...

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 7/27/2006 2:02 PM Russia condemned in Chechen case From correspondents in Strasbourg 28-07-2006 IN a landmark ruling today, the European Court of Human Rights found Russia guilty of violating the "right to life" of a young Chechen who disappeared after a Russian general ordered him shot. Khadzimurat Yandiyev was last seen in the hands of Russian troops in February 2000. Television footage showed a general ordering the 25-year-old to be taken away and "rubbed out". His body has never been found but lawyers for his mother Fatima Bazorkina said the general's words made his fate clear.

"This is a landmark judgment with major importance for the hundreds of other Chechen disappearance cases still pending before the Court," said Ole Solvang, executive director of Russian Justice Initiative, in a statement released in Moscow.
