Human rights activists investigate the beating of journalists in Ingushetia

In Ingushetia, human rights activists have undertaken to investigate the beating of the filming crew of the "Ren-TV" Channel: Ella Pamfilova, leader of the Human Rights Board under Russian President, has personally addressed General Public Prosecutor of Russia Yuri Chaika. The human rights activists think that the Articles, on which the criminal case was initiated, were too lenient (hindrance of lawful professional work of journalists, illegal penetration into one's dwelling and robbery), since they do not treat kidnapping and beating.

"A sad and inevitable conclusion arises - either the Republic's leadership fail to control the situation in Ingushetia or this illegal action was undertaken with the privity of certain officials," the letter to Mr Chaika runs.

The NewTimes report that apart from Ms Pamfilova the letter was signed by the leaders of 14 human rights organizations.
