Officers of Lvov Zaliznychnyi District militia department stripped 32-year-old journalist Irena Tershak of her clothes, kicked her and beat her with truncheons. They found out that she wanted to expose the militia command who have built luxurious residences costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. But it didn’t occur to the law enforcement agents that Ms Tershak unnoticed switched on the dictaphone in her handbag. She managed to record the arbitrariness within the district militia department. Full Story...The man who buried communism
 He was similar to Santa Claus: a large, good-natured man ready to defend the offended from the offenders. I sat just one table from him and was surprised at his charm: most unlike a normal politician or businessman. In him was something unusual; something which won people over to him and made them trust him. At a reception in Moscow during Soviet times, dissidents remembered not so much the unusualness of the meeting but the colourfulness of the man himself: Ronald Reagan.

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has presented an unusual initiative: Each human rights organization will have an employee of the central ministry attached to it, who will become acquainted with material collected by these human rights organizations on wrongdoings by the various militias and act on it. This initiative was presented in an interview with the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Alexander Chekalin. Full Story...Torture at Ukrainian militia post
 A trial at Chernigorsky regional court saw militia captain Valeri Stashko sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment. A second militiaman, Nikolai Reshotko, received five years. The Ukrainian Supreme Court has since upheld the lower court’s verdict. The two men, after using torture, caused the death of an invalid, pensioner Alexander Ivashov.

For two months, the consular service of the Canadian embassy in Russia has, without explaining its reasons, been holding the passport of the former Russian diplomat Valentin Moiseyev, condemned in 2001 to four and a half year of imprisonment for espionage. Full Story...Kirgizia loses a tenth of its population
 Some 500,000 of the current 5-million population of the Central Asian republic of Kirgizia have turned their backs on their homeland since independence was declared in 1991. While initially it was the Russian speakers who departed, recent years have seen ethnic Kirgiz following them. Full Story...That dangerous word: Chechnya
 The scandal over Leonid Parfenov’s dismissal from NTV last Sunday had entered its final phase: his program “Nadmedni” failed to appear when it was supposed to. An interview with Parfenov on the television channel ORT was aired in place of “Nadmedni”. In this interview, Parfenov laid the blame for the scandal on the directors of the independent television network (NTV). The majority of those following this event have interpreted Parfenov’s dismissal as yet another blow to the freedom of the press in Russia. Once again, we see that an attack on the free press by Russian authorities stems from the conflict in Chechnya. Full Story... Wood Chippings
 Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his condolences to the relatives of his dead henchman in Chechnya, Akhmad Kadyrov. The father of five children, killed by servicemen from the Russian armed forces, received no such condolences. For the Kremlin, these infants are nothing more than wood chippings in the great anti-terrorist tree-felling. Full Story...Who killed Akhmad Kadyrov?
 The majority of those who analyzed the recent terrorist act which killed Chechen President Akmad Kadyrov have neglected to answer the most important question: where was Ramzan Kadyrov who was supposed to be in charge of the security for his father when the tragedy of May 9th took place? How is it that, only three hours after the terrorist act, Ramzan Kadyrov appeared in blue running gear in the Kremlin, as a guest of President Putin? Full Story...Mercenaries or independent journalists?
 I would like someone to name one Cuban newspaper which does not belong to the government. For example: Granma is the official organ of the Cuban Communist Party. Huventud Rebelde is the official organ of the Communist Union of Youth. Trabahadores is the official organ of the Association of (communist) Trades Unions.
