Activists detained in Russia for protesting against nuclear waste!

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Thursday July 13, 2006 15:58author by Red1985 - Socialist Party (personal capacity) Report this post to the editors

Send protests urgently!

This article has been copied from the website of the Committee for a Workers' International.

There are widespread reports of anti-globalistion activists and socialists intending to travel to the G8 protests in Petersburg facing police visits and harassment.

Two CWI supporters already in Petersburg were taken into police custody on 11th July. Please act urgently on the case (details below).

Victoria Gromova and Natalia Zvyagina (a CWI member and a CWI sympathiser from the Russian city of Voronezh) were taken into police custody in St Petersburg, with seven others, for demonstrating against nuclear waste dumping in Russia.

Victoria and Natalya are key members of the Legal Team established to provide legal advice and assistance to protesters attending the Russian Social Forum, which will be held during the G8 summit.

By these actions, and from widespread reports of police harassment of activists across Russia, it is clear the Putin government aims to try to intimidate protesters over the next few days of the G8 summit.

Please send protests, demanding the immediate release of the seven activists.

The seven protesters are held at:
No 1 RUVD (Police) for the Admiralteiskii raion
Phone number +7 812 316 0202

The police Press Office phone number:
+7 81316 0774

Protests can also be sent to the Russian embassy in Dublin: -
Tel: (01) 4923492
Fax: (01) 4923525

These activists have been released, probably at least partly due to the solidarity campaign, but are up in court tomorrow charged with holding a protest against nuclear dumping in Russia on Tuesday without the proper licence. They could face up to a week in prison, so please continue to send protests.
