On Wednesday, in the central Journalism Union building, members of the ‘Nord-Ost’ organization held a press conference. Present were co-chairmen Sergey and Tatiana Karpova as well as the organization’s activist Dmitry Milovidov. The ‘Nord-Ost’ people spoke about their intentions to bring to justice high-ranking officials who, in their opinion, are guilty of the deaths of people as a result of the terror act in the theatrical center on Dubrovka in 2002.

The press conference’s participants did not report anything new, as the arguments they made have been broadcast several times before. This time, however, the organization’s members announced that they were petitioning the Prosecutor General’s office, “with the goal of bringing the guilty to justice”. By the way, on that same day Tatiana Karpova answered questions in an online news conference for the New York Times publication.
