Symbol of the voice of freedom

Bayyo - a small city on the Norman coast of France - once became the first settlement of the country, freed from the Nazi occupation. Now it is there that the best military correspondents are presented annually by the Bayo-Calvados Award.
The memorial complex stretches in a half -kilometer between the cemetery, where the participants of the allied landing in Normandy were buried in 1944, and the Museum of the Norman Battle. Today in the park there are 24 stone steles, on which the names of 1880 dead journalists are knocked out.
Such a decision was proposed, and then made by the French artist and architect Samuel Krakelen. The authors of the idea of the complex - the international organization “Reporters without borders” and the Bayu City Hall - plan to add new steles to it in the future so that no reporters who gave their lives in the name of the profession are forgotten. The most dangerous state for journalists remains Iraq, where over four years of military operation, 167 correspondents and operators were killed - more than 20 years of the Vietnamese conflict.
Two more were missing.
The second place in the number of names knocked out on the steles of the memorial in Bayu, alas, is occupied by Russia. In Russia, strange things are happening, the specificity of which is stunning: they go beyond any framework, have no precedents and are not consistent with any political logic.

In fact, state terror has become an ideology and a method, which is increasingly used by power structures to strangle freedom of speech, especially critical.
In early February, police general Gribakin pleased journalists with a message that, they say, "the number of cases when they are dealing with journalists for their publications and investigations is small in percentage." Then he gave eight examples over the past five years. At the same time, the general emphasized that "of course, the murders of journalists are on a special control of the authorities." Special control, presumably, is expressed in a farce, which arrange the judicial authorities with the light hand of the authorities of the higher.
A certificate of this is the recent process in the case of the murder of Politkovskaya, and now a new, no less vivid impression is the case of the death of Yevloev.
The death of Magomed Evloev is a cynical political murder committed by security forces, distraught by the feeling of permissiveness, who set themselves above the law and human morality.
What is the version now put forward in justification of the incident about the “involuntary shot in the temple”? That this, if not an example of impudent contempt for Russian citizens, who should apparently be stupidly and obediently believed by any statements of the authorities, no matter how flagrant they contradict common sense.
Evloev’s site “Ingushetia.ru” was the most visited resource in the North Caucasus. He conducted a huge work on the peacefulness of society tormented by the confrontations, because it has long been known that any government that deprives its citizens' rights and the possibility of an open, legitimate expression of their positions pushes them to terror. However, the authorities took up arms against the site, carried out a fierce struggle, trying to close it under any pretext.
Various charges were brought against Magomed, he was put on the wanted list, and a real hunt was conducted in Ingushetia. He did not give up, but what did he cost him? At the age of 36, he burned the supply of vital energy to the ground and looked like a 50-year-old old man.
When he was gone, all the higher appreciated the merits of this smart and brave person.
Now the name of Magomed Evloev, the owner of the Internet portal "Ingushetia.ru", was added to the mournful list of the dead journalists. At the opening ceremony of the stele, the mayor of Bayu Leons Dupont, Senator of the Department of Calvados, who established a special prize to journalists, heroes of the Norman Battle, the head of the World Border Reporters, Jean Francois, Elsa Vidal, journalists and representatives of all radio and television channels of France, as well as human rights and public services, as well as human rights and public channels. organizations.
The ceremony began with the fact that all those who arrived in complete silence went to a new stone in memory along the alley, on both sides of which rectangular steles, autumn with wood crowns, whose.
There is nothing superfluous here, which would distract attention.
Everything is in the white-green gamut.
The mayor of the city opened the ceremony. The opening ritual is strictly regulated and solemn. With respectful restrained sadness, they talked about the bitter loss, which befell the relatives of Magomed. The name of Yevloev in France has become a symbol of the voice of freedom, boldly rising against corruption of politicians and the arbitrariness of repressive state authorities.
The right to open a stone was granted to Jean Leons Dupone and Rosa Malsagova, who was present here on behalf of the Yevloev family. As soon as the white canvas slipped from the stone, dozens of buzzing cameras and cameras broke the silence, birds took off from the tops of trees. But among these sounds there were no human voices. A long painful silence hung in the air. No one was in a hurry to leave. French, Italian journalists approached the fellow countrymen of Magomed, expressed their condolences. The 70-year-old Alikhan Arsamakov, who specially came with his son to open the stele, thanked the senator for the memory of his compatriot. France citizen Viktor Cardye with bitterness spoke about the tragedy that is played out in his homeland. From the parents of Magomed and Maksharip Aushev, the black and white portrait of Magomed Evloev and two photo albums was transferred to the memory, where the entire chronology of life and the death of the owner of the portal “Ingushetia is traced. RU ”and the stories of many victims of“ counter -terrorism operations ”are reflected.
Meanwhile, the journalists of the Caucasian independent magazine Dosh have already turned to the leadership of the republic twice with a proposal to perpetuate the memory of a journalist in his homeland. Appeals remained unanswered. Truly there is no prophet in his country! The Frenchmen were more necessary to preserve the memory of Magomed Evloev!
