"Mr President, the Russian Federation is a country with which we desperately want to conclude strategic partnerships. If not democracy, then rule of law is the key point here.
27 February: an activist of The Other Russia coalition was released from a mental hospital in the Russian city of Tver. Roman Nikolaychik was a victim of punitive psychiatry. Political pressure increased on him after he was chosen as a local candidate on the party list of The Other Russia coalition. Larisa Arap was held for 46 days after she published a critical article in the Murmansk Oblast. Artem Basyrov was hospitalised for over a month in the Mari-El Republic for supporting The Other Russia.
1 March: an open letter to the Federal Security Service of Russia. ‘We, journalists and colleagues of Natalya Morar, a correspondent of
magazine, demand that the leadership of the FSB ceases her anti-constitutional detention in the customs area of the Domodedovo airport, and opens the Russian border for her.’
4 March: thousands marched in Moscow and in the streets of St Petersburg. In Moscow, where authorities refused to grant a permit of assembly, dozens were arrested as police rushed the crowd with batons. Nikita Belykh, the leader of the Union of Right Forces Party, was carried off by camouflaged OMON Special Forces troops. Lev Ponomarev, the chairman of the For Human Rights movement, and Denis Bulinov, the executive director of the United Civil Front, were also among those arrested.
7 March: journalists silenced during Russian vote. In South Sakhalin, an army lieutenant attacked a reporter of the Yuzhno Sakhalinsk
. In Novosibirsk, photographer Yevgeny Ivanov was accused of ‘resisting the authorities’ and ‘failing to register’. In St Petersburg, a reporter of
was detained by the
for ‘being in a polling station without authorisation’. Her newspaper is run by Golos, an independent electoral monitoring group. A reporter of
(Forward), a local daily from Khimki in the Moscow Oblast, was attacked by
officers when he tried to put in his ballot.
This is the rule of law?"@en1
