August 7, 2010 on Clean Ponds in Moscow Committee on Jan. 19 held a picket of solidarity with the defenders of Khimki forest. In connection with this, seemingly purely environmental issue on the agenda of some acute issues associated with the laying of Khimki "bloody tracks."
All of these questions expressed in the clear demands made by the Committee:
- Stop the bloody track.
- Release Maxim Solopova and Alexei Gaskarova from custody and is completely removed from the young civil society activists from all charges.
- Stop the persecution of Eugenia Chirikov, eco-activists and residents Khimki, advocates of the forest against logging and road building on existing plans.
At the time, as is illegal logging in the suburbs continue to burn the forest and still smoldering peat bogs. On Saturday, in this regard, the concentration of smog reached record levels, and getting around town was difficult: the eyes tears, breathing is difficult even in bandages. Nevertheless, to express their position on that paragraph on the Net ponds appeared at least 250 people.
picket were presented to all parties, united against the logging.
human rights dimension of the situation with Maxim and Alex said Lev Ponomarev. He promised that the recently established Human Rights Council of Russia will take control of frame-up of activists and attract the best professionals in the country to protect guys who have been a convenient target for judicial manipulation.
against deforestation and the protection of Eugenia Chirikova were environmental activists and himchane.
their theses Committee on January 19 asked to read out the famous, including his consistent anti-Nazi stance, poet Kirill Medvedev.
Despite a clear position of the Committee, which stands on the principle of politics without politicking and trendizma (and is going to firmly uphold the principle and more), some come, and even speakers considered it acceptable to advertise their party label.
Picket was calm. At the site within an hour there was no provocation either by the police (as last action of the Committee in January 2010 in memory of Markelov and Anastasia Baburova), nor from the right.
However, the same evening, two hours after the protest rally was attacked by right-wing bullies on the picket on Clean Ponds - Activists Committee Work for the International. Three injuries of varying severity, one victim is in hospital in serious condition. The Committee monitors the health of our comrades.
