Russian human rights activists address the ALDE Group
24.06.2008 Oleg Orlov, director of the "Memorial", Svetlana Isaeva, member of the "Dagestan Mothers" and Magomet Mutsulgov, director of the Ingush "MASHR", addressed the ALDE Group at its meeting on Monday afternoon.
The speakers drew the attention of the group to the human rights situation in the North Caucasus. Kidnappings, uninvestigated disappearances and general lawlessness tolerated and promoted by the authorities terrorize the people of Ingushetia and Dagestan.
"The role of the Council of Europe may be crucial in making Russian legal system function and apply to every part of the country", Oleg Orlov told the Group.
Matyas Eörsi congratulated the speakers on their courageous and valuable work. He thanked them for having contributed to the group's understanding of the current situation on concrete and shocking examples. "We have heard the tragedies of these people; born in Europe, we often ignore these situations and tend to discuss human rights theoretically", he said.
