    MOSCOW PROSECUTORS RE-QUALIFY CRIMINAL CASE INTO ETHNIC ASSAULT

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    July 3 2006

    MOSCOW, July 3 (Itar-Tass) - The Moscow prosecutor's office has
    demanded the re-qualification of a criminal case on an attack on a
    group of people that took place in the Moscow underground on Saturday.

    The prosecutor's office spokesman Sergei Marchenko told that
    investigators had ascertained that about 15 unknown persons assaulted
    four Armenians and one Azerbaijani at the underground station Kuznetsky
    Most at about 17:00 Moscow time.

    Two Armenians and the Azerbaijani suffered knife wounds and two more
    of the attacked other bodily harm.

    The Moscow prosecutor's office ordered to the prosecutor's office of
    the Moscow Metropolitan to re-qualify the earlier opened criminal case
    from hooliganism to "instigation of hatred or enmity, humiliation of
    human dignity of a person or a group of persons on the basis of sex,
    race, nationality, language, origin, or religion committed publicly".

    Two Armenian constructers aged 20 and 23 sought medical care for cut
    wounds on Saturday, saying that they were injured in a conflict with
    a group of 17-18-year-old people.
