    THREE YOUNG MEN DETAINED IN KRASNOYARSK FOR BEATING ARMENIAN

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    July 3 2006

    KRASNOYARSK, July 3 (Itar-Tass) - Three young men who have beaten
    a citizen of Armenia out of national hatred have been detained in
    Krasnoyarsk, the territorial Prosecutor's Office told Itar-Tass
    on Monday.

    According to Yelena Pimonenko, the senior aide to the Krasnoyarsk
    territory Prosecutor, one of the suspects said during the detention
    that he was "an ideological leader of Krasnoyarsk skinheads" and
    explained that his attack was motivated by nationalist reasons.

    Federal court of the Sovetsky district of Krasnoyarsk charged him
    under article of the Russian Criminal Code envisaging punishment for
    "inciting hatred or animosity and abasement of human dignity on racial
    grounds in public with the application of violence."

    "The investigation is checking the arrested man for involvement in
    similar crimes," said Pimonenko.

    The Armenian citizen was cruelly beaten up by a group of youth on the
    Tatyshev Island on June 21. The attack victim got serious physical
    injuries.

    "It is the first high-profile manifestation of nationalism in
    Krasnoyarsk," Pimonenko pointed out.
