Special issue

I accuse the authorities of waging an illegal war on her own territory; War outlawed; On this basis, arbitrary requirements for civilians are established, contradicting international law; Which allows you to produce arbitrary, arbitrary actions in relation to them, which deprive civilians of the opportunity to resort to legal means of protecting their interests and their own lives. A classic example of such arbitrariness is the case of a journalist, Russian citizen Andrei Babitsky.

Responsible and high representatives of the authorities in the most shameful and cynical way lie to the public about the Babitsky case. This lies and the egregious arrogance with which it is pronounced - from a variety of lips, from a variety of floors - indicates what the actual price of human life is trying to establish now in Russia.

Representatives of the authorities transfer an unarmed person, a journalist, in the hands of those whom he herself calls criminals, terrorists, bandits and rebels. But the authorities not only do not seek to protect Babitsky; On the contrary, she tries to compromise him with all her might.

So, I blame Yastrzhembsky

- The fact that he allowed himself to declare that the authorities are taking off his responsibility for the fate of Babitsky;

- In the fact that he covers the details from society related to the fate of Babitsky;

- The fact that he creates impossible conditions for the work of journalists, thereby deliberately violates the norms of international law.

The accreditation introduced by him has no legal, legal force - neither military nor emergency are introduced in Chechnya.

Being a person to a certain extent aware of international law, Yastrzhembsky cannot know this. Therefore, he does everything consciously and of his own free will - as he drinks along with the generals somewhere there, in Hankala ...

I am accusing society

- in the fact that it allows the authorities to lie;
- in the fact that it allows the authorities to violate human rights;
- In that, finally, that it allows the authorities to limit their own right to information.

I blame myself

“That I can’t change anything.”

We can.

And I turn to all people of goodwill:

- We must achieve the whole truth about Andrei Babitsky;
- We must achieve the immediate liberation of Andrei Babitsky;
- We must achieve punishment of those who allowed arbitrariness, lies and lawlessness in the Babitsky case;
- We must protect ourselves and our children from impending lawlessness;
- We must protect the democratic foundations of our society;
- We must protect the Constitution.

And we demand from the authorities:

- Follow your own laws!

Let's resist ...

This is more significant than the specific fate of a particular person, although there is anything more significant than just a person? Instead of raising the level of national production, we again took up the production of fogs. All the facts of this strange business are shrouded in fog of secrecy, lack of nothing, although, perhaps, there really is something to hide. But undercorving is good only in the lyrics, and not in politics. If Babitsky is only to blame for the fact that he conducted his reports on the wrong side of the fire, which we would like, then why did the CNN American correspondents who were reported from Baghdad and Belgrade during the bombing are still not arrested?

Are journalists not people, but rubles or dollars that can be changed at any rate of the political market?

If then the business goes in such a cynical way, then you can reached the opening of exchange points of journalists at prisoners of war next to foreign currency eates. Babitsky must be released, and if there are questions to him, then he must answer these questions publicly and before the law, and not lawlessness.

Alexey Simonov

The fate of Babitsky is a mirror for everyone who, having learned the truth, does not want to hide or hide it.

Like honey, the "pure hearts" of Dzerzhinsky’s grandchildren, the hedgehogs of the Encavering dwarf, the faithful successors of the Andropov case, fly to Moscow. Imagine this synclit of the minds who "developed" Babitsky and his business: General Cherkesov, who obscurely failed the adventure with the announcement of Captain Nikitin in St. Petersburg; Admiral Ugryumov, who was ingloriously trying to make a spy of journalist Pasko in the Pacific Ocean ... This, apparently, is the main creative forces. A dozen more major masters who failed to defeat the crime of crime, the sale of national wealth, corruption and bribe -immunity throughout our vast Motherland were also called to the rescue.

Now, here and now, gathered under the iron hand of the best of the acting, they - on the example of Babitsky, will show us how to work with information.

Information, according to a clear definition of special services, is what suits the authorities and perfectly coincides with the plans declared by the leadership. In the first Chechen war, one OMONOVSKY Major clearly formulated: "What you have embarked here is not true!"

That's who they have in Voltaires!

Everything that does not correspond to their own ideas about themselves and about the results of their “noble” activity, ”this, in their opinion, is the vile lies bought by untrue, the machinations of the Western special services, the tricks of the Zionist lobby (emphasize the necessary).

The fate of Andrei Babitsky is our fate. Her sign, obvious and unambiguous: a sign of trouble.

Either we will save Andrei, which means that we will save our honor, or his trouble will become a kaina seal at the fate of the entire press for the entire reign of the coming Putinochet.

There is so much heated everything, so many senseless lies that you can’t collect the ends. When prisoners of war are changed to prisoners of war, this is understandable. But to give a citizen of their country to the bandits, so they are called ... I do not understand. I saw yesterday on television of a Moryak officer, who, as they said, was exchanged among the three people for Babitsky. He survived the fact that, God forbid, to survive anyone, before his eyes, our two soldiers cut off their heads. He will return home alive. How not to rejoice for him? But there is another side. If Babitsky really tarnished himself with cooperation with such thugs, investigate, judge. And he was handed over there, claiming that he was there, and, knowing all this, the prosecutor's office calls him for interrogation. So to carve yourself - this must be able to.

Alexey German

What is happening reminds me of Gashek: "They brutally fire our aircraft that peacefully bomb their damned cities" "

Babitsky, it seems, is really a wonderful person. But now they do not think about himself. Today it is interesting to society primarily as a map that is played out as a club that is beaten. When I listen to representatives of both the left and right "gendarmerie", it turns out that for everyone almost better, so that the worst forecasts are justified. The Chechens today are also beneficial for his silence - so that the scandal is spinning. And everything is guilty.

Alexander Volodin

Who is to blame for what happened? We can say - employees of the special services, rude -tributary generals, the presidential press service "But the most organized dishonesty of power is transparent and invulnerable.

Talking about Babitsky means talking about conscience, freedom of speech, human rights. But of all the rights, we have the right to speak, and they have nothing to hear. We have the right to live righteously (although a few succeeds), the state has to be dishonest to its people and the world.

Yuri Karyakin

We do not know yet what specific strateg adviser chose the moment and battlefield in order to initiate Babitsky’s business.

But more clear, that the plan is not in Babitsky himself, he is only a remedy. And the struggle around him - all of us a test, only a rehearsal, very important, but, apparently, not yet general.

I am not familiar with A. Babitsky. I only know that in Budennovsk this "antipatriot" voluntarily went hostage for the sake of saving dozens and hundreds of our people. He was still working, risking his life. He did not live and does not live, like Zhirinovsky, who simply deserted in the same Budennovsk. When a person writes, pronounces words, only his mouth and his motives make these words true or lies.

Boris Vasiliev

Russia was once a very civilized country, because its inhabitants were guided by morality and morality. There were concepts of decency and dishonesty. To become a dishonest person was not so dangerous - ashamed. So, now our respected military acted dishonestly. So in a normal civilized society do not enter. Power demonstrates its impudence. It will pass - it will become a precedent in the future. It will not pass - we’ll somehow explain. But we still throw a trial pebble. Of course, a citizen of Russia, even with his consent, cannot be allowed in any exchange. And the fact that this nevertheless happened indicates that we live in an absolutely immoral society. The authorities seemed few that Babitsky was simply exchanged. It turns out he is also a spy. The image of the enemy is again extracted from Naftalin. This is a calculation on our layman - a brutal Russian layman and an attempt to inflate the coals of our xenophobia, picked up by ash.

Mikhail Fedotov

What is happening should not remain unpunished. The question is how to deal with it? The legal field should be fought by legal methods. On the wrong field, apparently, it will be necessary to fight with unlawful methods - the authorities themselves force us to this. True, I do not really imagine what we have to do here, because I am still a specialist in legal issues, and not for power.

Today, first of all, we are talking about the protection of the whole society, about the protection of every citizen, about the protection of his right to know the truth. Because no one needs a journalist in itself and does not pose any danger to anyone. He just tells the truth - this, it turns out, the authorities are afraid.

President Yeltsin did not scare this.
