Tanya Lokshina: Don't ignore what's happening inside Russia
22.05.2014
Tanya Lokshina is the Russia program director at Human Rights Watch and Honorary Participant of International Youth Human Rights Movement: As the crisis in Ukraine escalated this spring, the Kremlin’s vicious crackdown on civil society also escalated. Space for independent civic activity in Russia is shrinking dramatically, but international policymakers and the media have been understandably too distracted to do much about it. Since early spring, it seems as though every week brings a new pernicious law or legislative proposal.

Appeal to antifascists, civil activists and all those who are not indifferent…

01.08.2007

On July 21st, around five o'clock in the morning, a group of 15-20 Nazi-skinheads attacked an ecological anti-nuclear camp near Angarsk (Irkutsk region, Russia), organized by the movement "Rainbow Keepers" and libertarian organization "Autonomous action".


The attackers were armed with armature, baseball bats and pneumatic guns. At the same time they shouted insults, against antifascists. Eight people from the camp were taken to the hospital with injuries of various degrees. A camp-participant antifascist Ilya Borodaenko from the city of Nakhodka died on the spot from his wounds. One more participant of the camp is still in a critical condition.


Statements of the victims unambiguously show that the crime was committed by nazi-skinheads on ideological motives.


This crime (as well as all other crimes of neo-Nazi) should not stay unpunished. The further development of this case also depends on us.


What you can do:


  • Organize or take part in actions of solidarity with the participants of the ecological camp and in remembrance actions for the slained antifascist in your town or country.

  • Organize or take part in solidarity actions with the demand of a thorough and open investigation of the assault and its circumstances and a just punishment of the attackers (for example actions in front of the embassies etc.);

  • Send a letter to the Office of Public Prosecutor of the Russian Federation with the demand to take under special control the investigation of the attack on participants of the ecological camp and to officially recognize the ideological character of the attack;

  • Render financial support to the participants of the ecocamp (to help the injured people, the relatives of Ilya etc.) Donations can be sent through electronic pay systems.
