    MEMBER OF PACE COMMITTEE ON EQUALITY AND NON-DISCRIMINATION APPLIES TO PACE LEADERSHIP TO TAKE IMMEDIATE MEASURES TO BRING ACTING MAYOR OF MOSCOW SERGEY SOBYANIN TO RESPONSIBILITY
    by Emmanuil Lazarian

    Wednesday, July 31, 11:31

    Zaruhi Postanjyan, member of the PACE Committee on Equality and
    Non-Discrimination, has applied to the PACE leadership to take
    immediate measures to bring Acting Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin
    to responsibility for extension of xenophobia and racism and to start
    investigating the fact of denigration of Hrachya Harutyunyan's honor
    and dignity by the legal structures and representatives of medical
    institutions, who had invested Harutyunyan with a housecoat before
    taking him to the court.

    In her open letter to CoE Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland, as
    well as to the heads of a number of PACE structures and Chairperson
    of the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance Eva Smith,
    Postanjyan speaks of the violation of rights of Armenian citizen
    Hrachya Harutyunyan, who was arrested following the 13 July 2013
    tragic road accident in Russia. Postanjyan thinks that after the
    incident Acting Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin made a statement on
    the use of discrimination against foreign citizens.

    She says that the tragic accident killed 18 people and wounded dozens
    of people. Hrachya Harutyunyan, the driver of the defective Kamaz owned
    by a private company, also received bodily injuries and was taken to
    court and arrested immediately without being provided medical aid. At
    the moment he is in the hospital of the Matrosskaya Tishina detention
    unit, she says.

    Postanjyan is convinced that no such tragic incident might have
    occurred if the Russian Federation, a member of the Council of
    Europe, were not one of the most corrupt countries. And if racism
    and xenophobia are added to the countrywide corruption in Russia,
    it becomes obvious that not only the precedence of law, but also the
    right to life and dignity of the citizens of other nationalities of the
    multi- ethnic Russian Federation are threatened, Postanjyan stresses.

    Zaruhi Postanjyan also asks her colleagues to urge Russia to
    take immediate measures to bring Olga Skobeyeva, a journalist of
    Rossiya-1, to responsibility for her insulting remarks against Hrachya
    Harutyunyan and violation of assumption of innocence, as well as to
    start investigating the fact of denigration of Hrachya Harutyunyan's
    honor and dignity by the relevant legal structures and representatives
    of medical institutions.
