The SOVA Center's Talking Points for the EU/Russian Federation Human Rights Consultations
On May 25-26, 2009, in Brussels, the SOVA Center, as a part of a group of Russian human rights NGOs, participated in the EU/Russian Federation human rights consultations. We publish the talking points of the SOVA Center representative. Racist violence continues to be an acute problem, particularly in Moscow. As in the previous year, the January of 2009 was marked by an increased number of attacks in Moscow evidencing the existence of a well-organized network of violent racist groups.
