Krasnodar ecologists send complaint to Adler court

Today, activists of the Ecological Watch for Northern Caucasus have lodged their complaint to the District Court of Adler challenging the administrative sanctions imposed on them. The ecologists protest against the decision made frontier guards of the FSB, who had detained the "greens" allegedly for breaking the frontier regime.

Suren Gazaryan, a member of the Board of the Ecological Watch, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that the complaints had been filed on his behalf and on behalf of Andrei Rudomakha, coordinator of the Ecological Watch.

Today, the complaints were sent by mail. The text of Mr Gazaryan's one (the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent has a copy) runs that then Krasnodar Territory has no state border with Georgia, while the Russian-Abkhazian border is not fixed by agreements. Also, the complaint underlines that there are no warning signs about a frontier zone near the border.

Members of the Ecological Watch also sent a letter to Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB, complaining of the behaviour of frontier guards.

As to the FSB, the letter sent by Fyodor Cherednichenko, head of the Black Sea-Azov Sea Frontier Department, to Igor Chestin, director of the World Wildlife Fund of Russia (the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent also has its copy), explains that the "greens" were detained because they had no passes to the frontier zone. Mr Cherednichenko writes that should the ecologists have had such passes, their detention could have been avoided.
