Five days before Sasha’s 18th birthday, victims of the Dubrovka terror act and members of the ‘Nord-Ost’ public organization, of which her mother, Svetlana Gubareva, is a member, filed a petition with the Russian prosecutor general.  They are demanding a criminal case be opened against members of the operational headquarters that freed the hostages.  Before this, on May 19th, the investigation had been halted.
