The
YABLOKO party calls to stop criminal persecutions against
Oleg Orlov, head of the Memorial human rights centre, that
was launched on the complaint of President of Chechnya Ramzan
Kadyrov.
We presume that there are no grounds for opening of a criminal
case against Oleg Orlov.
On the opposite, we assess some of the statements made by
Ramzan Kadyrov as open pressure on the human rights organisation
and a threat against its representatives: President of Chechnya
called Memorial an organisation “created for disruption of
Russia”, as well as stated that he did not consider Memorial’s
staff being patriots of Russia and he even loathed talking
to them.
The Russian United Democratic Party YABLOKO expresses its
moral support to Oleg Orlov.
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chairman of the YABLOKO party
