In the evening of January 23, at Solovetskiy Boulder in the Lubyanka Square of Moscow, a picket was held in defence of the "Society of Russian-Chechen Friendship" (SRChF), after the court ruling to liquidation it was confirmed yesterday by the Supreme Court of Russia. The Moscow "Democratic Union" was the organizer of the action.

By an estimate of the Anti-War Club the protesters against liquidation of the SRChF were 25 in number. Among them there were Stanislav Dmitrievskiy and Oksana Chelysheva, the leaders of the Society. The human rights activist from Nizhni Novgorod have told the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot" that they are going to prove their truth at the European Court for Human Rights and, probably, at the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

We remind you that on January 23, the Supreme Court of Russia upheld the verdict of the Nizhni Novgorod Regional Court on liquidation of the inter-regional public organization "Society of Russian-Chechen Friendship" (SRChF).
