 20 years ago, the Cabinet of Ministers of Great Britain published the Crime Victims Charter, and February 22nd was designated International Support of Crime Victims Day. Today the world has about 200 programs to help the victims of criminal acts. In Russia, according to many lawyers and citizens, the rights of victims of high-profile crimes in recent years not are only NOT protected, but often violated by agents of the state.Most European countries, as well as the United States and Canada, have long recognized that the primary function of the criminal justice system should be to address the queries, and safeguard the interests, of the victim. Russian legislation, and in particular the Code of Criminal Procedure that defines the purpose of criminal proceedings, places primary emphasis on protecting the rights and lawful interests of individuals and organizations affected by crime. Victims of criminal acts in Russia, however, often complain about the lack of support from the government, and believe that their rights are limited as well.

Broadcasted on 'The Turn'
 1
Presenters: Yevgeny Buntman, Antonina Samsonova
BUNTMAN: It is 5 and a half minutes past 4 pm in Moscow. This is 'The Turn', on a Friday with Yevgeny Buntman and Tonya Samsonova. We're discussing the court's decision and, in general, the trial of the first — please don't get mixed up — of the first Nevsky Express bombing. The Novgorod regional court announced passed sentences on the defendants in the 2007 bombing of the Nevsky Express train line. One defendant was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in a penal colony, and the other to 4 years. And the question that immediately arises is: were they acquitted under the law governing terrorism? Salambek Dzahkiev and Maksharip Khidriev were only sent to prison for the illegal purchase and transportation of ammunition and explosives, and for robbery.

ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED FROM THE TERRORIST ATTACK DID NOT EVEN DESERVE A HOT CUP OF TEA  In November of 2009, the regional public organization promoting the protection of the rights of victims of the Volga-Don terrorist attack launched a project. Its title: 'Rehabilitating elderly victims of the terrorist attack by bringing them to a joint event in order to share their experiences and enrich their level of culture and spirituality'. It is within the framework of the international program 'The Meeting Place is Dialogue'.Earlier, in October of 2009, our organization asked Volgodonsk mayor V. A. Firsov for help with free premises for the project. This socially significant project was for elderly people who suffered from the terrorist attack, so that on Saturdays they could attend lectures on psychology and legal literacy, talks by physical therapists, as well as receive computer training. The project also expected to have drawing and essay competitions for children. Be first to comment this article | Views: 6557 | E-mail |
