The Council of the Public Chamber determined 75 candidates that will be part of public supervisory commissions in places of forced content. The list is published on the OP website.

"The list of new members of the PMC, as well as last year, does not have a single well -known human rights activist. Moreover, the recommendations of the Human Rights Council who sent his list of candidates with human rights experience in the Public Chamber," said former Member of the PMC Zoya Svetova, has practically not taken into account.

Like last year, Elena Masyuk, Natalya Dzyadko, Israpil Shovkhalov, Maxim Peshkov, were not included in Moscow. They were the most active members of the PMC of past convocations. The PMC of the Moscow region does not include Lyubov Volkova, Elena Abdullaeva, Lidia Dubikova. The well -known human rights activist Sergei Shimovolos was not included in the Nizhny Novgorod PMC.

"So I, who had visited the Moscow pre -trial detention center for eight years, as last year, was not included in the PMC of the Mordovian region, although I had recommendations as many as human rights. The recommendation of Senator Vladimir Petrovich Lukin, who was an authorized person for human rights - from 2004 to 20014. And the recommendation of the current authorized personnel of human rights Tatyana Moskalkova gave me a recommendation and a member of the HRC Nikolai Svanidze, ”Svetova notes.

"The Council of the Public Chamber showed a monstrous disrespect for the recommendations of worthy and respected people to whom Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to engage in human rights in the country," Svetova said. If members of the HRC and the Commissioner for Human Rights will be ignored by such a demarche, they will write out in their own impotence. It is necessary to protect not only the rights of others, but also their rights. "

On October 22, last year, on the website of the Public Chamber, lists of elected in new compositions of public supervisory commissions in 42 regions were published. There were no in the lists those who actively worked and helped prisoners. The authorities left a minimum of independent observers in the commissions.

At the same time, Dmitry Komnov, a member of the Moscow ONK Moscow PMC, was a member of the Butyrka, defendant in the Magnitsky list. The commission also included a member of the Presidium of "Russian Officers" Anton Frololkin and the famous resolver Pavel Pyatnitsky.

On October 27, 2017, a series of single pickets against the defeat of public supervisory commissions was held in Moscow near the building of the Public Chamber (

On December 8 last year, at a meeting with members of the HRC, Putin promised to figure out the issue of forming the composition of the PMC . Igor Kalyapin, a member of the HRC, told Putin about the obstacles that human rights activists have to deal with the implementation of public control in places of imprisonment. The President promised to instruct the prosecutor’s office to check the orders of the FSIN regarding the visiting to human rights activists of the correctional colonies. “Despite the fact that we generally have many problems in the law enforcement, but this order, in accordance with the law, can be fulfilled only by the prosecutor's office. I will do so, I will instruct this work,” Putin said.

On January 3, the Kremlin’s website published the appropriate order of Putin to the prosecutor general Yuri Chaika. On September 9, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported on the results. "During this audit of cases of systemic illegal obstruction, the ONC members of the PMC in the implementation of their functions have not been established. According to the identified certain violations of the public control law committed by the UIS officers, the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia made an idea," the supervisory department said .
