Moscow holds action in memory of Dubrovka victims

In Moscow, in Chistye Prudy, near the monument to Griboedov, a meeting has started in memory of the victims of the terror act in the Dubrovka Theatrical Centre. The United Civil Front is the organizer of the action.

About 30 persons have come there, half of them are journalists. The participants explain their little number by the fact that today in the morning a requiem was held in Dubrovka, where much more people had gathered.

The area in front of the monument to Griboedov is cordoned with iron fence. The participants hold posters with inscriptions: "Who will respond for the victims, which could have been avoided?", "We demand compensations to Nord-Ost victims!", "No more lies, no more blood, no more Putin!"

Let us note here that the last poster attracted attention of militiamen, who are present in the same number as the protesters (additional forces are in the buses nearby). The guards of order asked to remove the poster. However, after a conversation with the participants of the event, who referred in their actions to the Constitution, they were allowed unwrapping the poster again.

The words "We remember!" are formed on the steps by means of candles. However, according to one of the participants of the rally Mikhail Kriger, "if you go some 100 meters away, very few people will recollect about what happened on this day 7 years."

Let us remind you that last year over one thousand persons came to the nourning meeting held at the Dubrovka Theatrical Centre.
