 Родные и близкие тех, кто погиб в школе № 1, уверены: за шесть лет правды о Беслане больше не стало Six years ago, on September 1st, 2004, terrorists seized Secondary School No. 1 in the city of Beslan, taking 1,127 hostages. Two days later the school was stormed (by the authorities). In the end, during those three days, 330 were killed in the school, and three later died in the hospital. More than half the dead were children. Why, even though it has been six years since the tragedy, is the investigation into the terrorist attack still not over?
According to hostages and relatives of victims of the tragic events occurring six years ago in Beslan, the investigation is biased and purposely prolonged. All the facts are there to prove involvement in the crime, or innocence, it only needs to be acknowledged. Anna Gadiyeva, co-chair of the Beslan Mothers committee, explains:
“Six years, we said the same thing, but it’s all just the same. The investigative bodies did not consider all the facts that were identified at the trial of Kulayev, the sole surviving terrorist, and the eyewitness testimony. Our appeals have mostly been rejected. Instead, we are told that another investigation has been scheduled. One just needs to identify that the operational headquarters for rescuing the hostages did not fulfill its function, the operational headquarters allowed the spontaneous assault to occur.”

 Ten years ago, on August 8th, 2000, at about six in the evening in a pedestrian underpass in Moscow's Pushkin Square, an explosion occurred, killing 13 and injuring 118 with various degrees of severity. The Moscow city prosecutor's office initiated a criminal case under legal articles concerning murder and terrorism, but in the end the investigation into the case was suspended and those killed or injured in the explosion are still not recognized as victims.
The improvised explosive device in the pedestrian underpass at Pushkin Square had the strength of 350 to 800 grams of TNT, and its design consisted of screws, bolts and a motorcycle battery. The investigation established that two men went up to a pavilion, left a briefcase and plastic bag, and rushed out. Then the bomb exploded, killing thirteen and injuring one hundred and eighteen.

It is known who provided documents to the militants who seized Nord-Ost. And this channel is still open
 While Interior Ministry chief Rashid Nurgaliyev creates his theory on how to modernize the police force through a changing its philosophy, I would like to tell him about a case of police practice. This case is by no means private, and even seems to be of historical significance to Russia. And it would be useful for the minister to know about such matters in his department.
It is unlikely that the Minister Nurgaliyev remembers the name Andrei Lisitsyn, though he has spoken with him, and many times at that. So I will remind you: Colonel Andrei Lisitsyn served in Rostov at the headquarters of the Russian Interior Ministry for the South Federal District. He was a manager, but not a major one. His job title was chief inspector for the special assignments department for control and management of coordinating coordination and analysis of research for the Interior Ministry in the Southern Federal District. The service, though difficult, was quiet, without car chases and shootouts. Be first to comment this article | Views: 4782 | E-mail |

Responses should be at the Strasbourg Court no later than May
ВIn April of 2004*, six months after the terror attack on Dubrovka, attorney Karinna Moskalenko, acting in the interests of the Nord-Ost victims, filed a complaint against the government of Russia at the European Court of Human Rights. A few months later another group filed a similar complaint. For six years both complaints wandered the Strasbourg corridors. There was an written exchange between the parties, and finally a big win for all whose lives were damaged in varying degrees by Nord-Ost, and indeed for all citizens of Russia: the Court consolidated the two cases into one and made a decision on its admissibility. Karinna Moskalenko discussed with Novaya Gazeta what this all means and what steps the Russian government will now take to make sure the truth comes out. Karinna, Novaya Gazeta has information that the European Court of Human Rights made a decision on the admissibility of the Nord-Ost victims' complaints. Is this so? Yes it is. This is not a decision on the merits of the governments' violations, but nevertheless it is a very important stage in the complaint. The Court acknowledged that our complaint is within its jurisdiction, and it will make a decision on allegations of violations of human rights. Decisions by the European Court are binding. But did the European Court of Justice not already accept the complaint a long time ago? Yes, and it has already been communicated to the government. Communication is… This is the initial stage of the complaint, during which the Court sets before the two parties — the petitioner and the government — the substantive issues of the Court's coming decision. The Court at this stage is already deciding on the admissibility of the described facts that establish the resolution. For this it has used information from the petitioners' complaints. Prior to this decision all the questions were put to the government, the government responded to the questions, and the petitioners were granted their inalienable right to comment on the government's responses or object as needed. What happens after the stage of communication? The Court prepares its decision. But a decision on complicated cases, like this complaint, occurs in two stages. First the Court answers the question, is the complaint, or any of its points, admissible to the European Court? This is not a mere formality. It is worth mentioning that a majority of complaints are not taken into consideration at this point. The vast majority of complaints from Russia do not reach Court because complainants either did not exhaust all legal remedies in their country, or they exceeded the six-month window allowed for filing a complaint. So, you have passed the first step on the admissibility of the complaint. Now what? Now, in the second stage, the Court will determine exactly what violations were committed by the state. Government representatives, and we, will be asked additional questions on the merits of the alleged violations. This complaint addresses so many issues that, frankly, have rarely ever been seen by the European Court. The issues are grouped and divided into eight parts, and some parts even contain ten questions. Comments (2) | Views: 5568 | E-mail |

 VLADIMIR KARA-MURZA: The first blast occurred at the Lubyanka subway station at 07.57 am, the second at Culture Park 40 minutes later. Female suicide bombers set off the explosives. As a result of the attacks 39 people were killed and 87 injured. In Moscow, March 30th was designated a day of mourning for the dead.

On August 31st, 2004, on the eve of the tragedy in Beslan, an improvised explosive device was set off near the Riga subway station. 8 were killed and 300 injured.Analogous bombings in the Madrid and London subways brought thousands of indignant citizens out into the streets of European capitals. Writer Viktor Shenderovich is not surprised that the passive Russian public did not follow the examples of the Spanish or the English. Be first to comment this article | Views: 4894 | E-mail |
