The Office of Commissioner of Central and Eastern European Affairs of the European Human Rights Committee and the international movement Global Citizens expresses its indignation at the actions of the representative of the Russian authorities, Alexander Zakuskin.
We are deeply troubled by evidence that in Russia, officials can spray gas canisters in the faces of citizens of the Russian Federation with impunity.
We call on the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation to take personal control of the investigation of the aforementioned crime. Reaction to what happened requires the immediate and public prosecution of the perpetrator.
