Kondopoga collects signatures to pardon pogromists

In Kondopoga, people started to collect signatures under the appeal to the authorities requesting them to amnesty the participants of mass disorders that burst out in Kondopoga on September 2 this year.

Yuri Zakharnev, representative of the movement "Kondopoga Is Our Home," which is implementing the action, told the "Interfax": "People were overwhelmed with an emotional reaction. They suffered from inactivity of the authorities and were left face to face with criminals. We ask to amnesty not only Kondopoga residents, but also participants in disorders in Russian towns of Salsk, Kharagun and Volsk."

We remind you that the cause of disorders in the city of Kondopoga in the Republic of Karelia was a mass fight between local citizens and natives from the Caucasus, in the course of which two persons died. As a result of subsequent disorders, practically all the members of national minorities, including the Chechen Diaspora, left Kondopoga.
