    Russia

    Krasnodar, 2 June: Criminal proceedings have been instituted in Anapa,
    Krasnodar Territory, over the posting of nationalist comments on an
    internet forum.

    "The investigations section for the resort town of Anapa of
    the investigations directorate for [Krasnodar] Territory of the
    Investigations Committee under the Prosecution Service of the Russian
    Federation has instituted criminal proceedings under Article 282 Part
    1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (incitement of hatred
    or hostility, as well as denigration of human dignity) over the posting
    of nationalist comments on the Kuban.ru forum," the press service of
    the territorial investigations directorate said on Monday [2 June].

    The prosecution follows a pre-investigation probe carried out at the
    request of Krasnodar Territory's Presumption human rights committee,
    the press release said.

    "Linguistic analysis carried out as part of the pre-investigation
    probe showed that the said posting contained lexical-semantic and
    syntactical linguistic means, which, in terms of their meaning and
    content, included pronouncements of a denigrating nature against
    ethnic Armenians [sentence as received]," the directorate said.
