MOSCOW, April 11. The play ‘In their hands’ (‘Everything is in your hands’ — Editor, Nord-ost.org), from the screenplay by British playwright Natalya Pelevayn, is about the tragedy in the Dubrovka theater. It has been shown in Dagestan, and may be performed in Beslan as well as in Italian in Italy, said Pelevayn in an interview with ‘RIA Novosti’.
The premiere of the play in Russian took place in Makhachkala on April 4th, 2008. The action revolves around conversations between a female journalist taken hostage by terrorists in the theater, and a female suicide bomber. Actors depicting suicide bombers and armed men in camouflage stand at the exits during the performance. Originally the play was performed in English in London, while the show in Dagestan was the first time it had been done in Russian.

That night at 11:30pm, raiders burst into the office of Lev Ponomarev’s movement, ‘For Human Rights’ (FHR). They entered by removing the emergency exit door from a nearby stairwell, and then occupied the second floor. The raiders blocked the stairs with pieces of tin roofing, sacks of cement, concrete slabs, and iron rails (!).
The office's new ‘owners’ showed no ownership documents, but despite this the police did not interfere. Even though it was already late, around 20 activists from various social and political organizations came together to stop the lawlessness.
Last night Suren Yedigarov from the United Civil Front heroically distinguished himself. He climbed a drainpipe to the second floor and after overcoming resistance from the raiders he began to take apart the obstruction the bandits had built on the stairs. He explained his actions by saying: “They should know they can’t do this to us!”
The hijackers then chose to retire, and the obstruction between the first and second floors was dismantled. We used the remaining rubble to block the emergency exit and prevent a repeat of the assault by the raiders. Comments (1) | Views: 7817 | E-mail |

 Representatives of foreign nonprofit organizations (NPOs) demanded that the head of the FSB, Nikolai Patrushev, present evidence of their alleged links to international terrorists, reported 'Interfax'. At a meeting of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee, Patrushev said that some foreign NPOs provide information support to terrorists, and called for a fight against the ideology of terrorism.
Alexander Petrov, the adviser on Russia and the CIS to the international human rights organization Human Rights Watch, called the FSB chief’s statement ‘foul play’. “Any such references to foreign NGOs (non-governmental organizations) harm the reputation of NGOs, and all this puts them in a very negative light in the minds of the public. Let the FSB be more specific,” explained the adviser.
