Drug addict rights advice

The fact that the head of the Urals Foundation “City without drugs” Evgeny Roizman can be included in the Presidential Council for Human Rights is interesting news. And due to the perennial disagreements of Roizman with the Kremlin, including. It is not clear, however, what can connect Roizman and human rights.

The founding father of the Urals City without drugs, Yevgeny Roizman, can become a member of the Presidential Council for Human Rights. Purely hypothetically: he was offered there, and he himself wrote on the blog that he would not mind entering the council if they vote for him.

The Presidential Council for Human Rights is a structure, of course, a purely ritual property. Medvedeva did not listen to his recommendations for his “liberal”, and even after Putin’s return, one must think, and there would be no longer listening to. The Council of Social Councils itself earned an extremely ambiguous reputation and is greatly bloodless. And in power, there may be a strong temptation to put there now all the loyalists. How then to work? And meanwhile, the story is interesting.

If Roizman's coming to the Council will really happen, the turn of the topic will be extremely funny. Firstly, the last few years, Roizman has been causing persistent idiosyncrazia in the Kremlin.

He was not allowed into politics consistently. First, he was unhooked from the Tsarly Russia election list in 2007, then because of it (formally) they defeated Prokhorovskoye “right business” in 2011. Of course, there was not so much the matter in Roizman and his long -standing criminal record, as in considerations of a more general political order. Yes, and the former first deputy head of the presidential administration Vladislav Surkov, it seems that Roizman did not please something.

However, a magnificent passage is obtained: a few months ago NTV told which Roizman actually a villain and how he robbed lonely women, and now he could leave the “villain” the conscience of the nation. Inconsistently, but not such miracles happened in our Palestines.

The second circumstance is that the council is still called “human rights”, and with this Roizman has well-known problems.

Here you can recall relations with the Uralmashevites, and even the anti -drug fund itself. The methods of treating drug addiction, as the opponents of Roizman assure, are far from the ideals of humanism, and there were a dozen scandals with the city without drugs. The most loud - the “case of Yegor Bychkov”, the head of the Nizhny Tagil organization “A city without drugs”, sentenced by a conditional time on charges of illegally holding a person - is poorly knitted with ideas about human rights. Roizman then actively supported Bychkova.

Now a scandal is also unfolding around the fund’s activities - about the death of one of the patients. The prosecutor’s office conducts searches and checks, including Roizman himself - not the best background for high -purpose.

Although the defenders of Roizman see this attempt to pressure and even close the fund. On the part of the drug dealers with whom Roizman fights (also, by the way, by methods far from the ideals of humanism), and the boundaries associated with them. The support team, however, has Evgeny Roizman also impressive. In the region, it is a popular figure, and at the federal level it has many sympathizers. Today, for example, Mikhail Prokhorov spoke in defense of the fund and Roizman himself - it is worth a lot. Every liberal public and metropolitan journalists are also more likely for Roizman than against.

In addition, after the exodus from the council that his members arranged in recent months (see non -browned power ), there are practically no social activists from those that the authorities are looking into their mouths. And the authorities must be tried to somehow simulate a dialogue with society. If only because talking with yourself, of course, is pleasant, but the product of such a “dialogue” is increasingly something unpleasant, like many thousands of metropolitan rallies.

Roizman in this sense, although very controversial, is obviously not engaged.

For Roizman himself and the status of a candidate for the Council - all the more membership in it is already benefit. For then for all regional comrades he will turn from equal into someone who can reach Putin himself. Immediately, you won’t only close the fund, you won’t even take care of any purely business matters.

This kind of perseverance of the founder of the “city without drugs” in protecting what he is clearly proud of is a thing, undoubtedly worthy of respect. And as for human rights - well, who are they in Russia when they were seriously interested in?
