"Voice of Beslan" changes the name and will not get registered
The "Voice of Beslan" public organization created by those who suffered from terror acts is changing its name to the "Voice of Beslan" All-Russian Public Organization of Terror Act Victims. The members of the Committee are sure that such form of public organization without registration is possible under Article 3 of the Federal Law "On Public Associations".
"We shall not get registered, since under today's lawlessness and total control over dissentients, registration of a public organization is a creephole for the authorities and a chance to silence the freedom of a voluntary association," runs the statement of the "Voice of Beslan".
The Committee will continue its activities in the former membership and headed by its chair Tagaeva-Betrozova, E. L., and co-chair Kesaeva, E. L.
"We are infinitely grateful to everybody, including well-known human rights activists of our country, who supported us and expressed sincere compassion to us, victims of Beslan tragedy," members of the "Voice of Beslan" write in their statement.
