No place for human rights

        In Russia, where rule of law “presents in its strongest form”, the situation when human rights activists and journalist were beaten was accepted as a minor rumor. The human rights activists from Russia, Norway and Sweden were driving in the Chechen Republic in Russia, when their car was stopped and burnt. People were beaten badly and their belongings were taking away. The administration of the President of he Republic did not confirm the incident. It is a clear signal that on that territory there are another rules and one should play according them.
