"Voice of Beslan" demands to set up protective dome over Beslan School

On August 16, the members of the All-Russian Public Organization "Voice of Beslan" arrived to the House of Government in Vladikavkaz to meet the leader of North Ossetia Taimuraz Mamsurov and ask him to help in erecting a transparent dome over the destroyed building of School No. 1 in Beslan.

In total, 30 victims grouped near the House. For several hours the women kept sitting and waiting for the meeting with Mamsurov, however the leader of North Ossetia failed to appear.

"We have lodged an application to install a transparent dome over the school building in order to preserve it. Winter is coming, and the school can collapse; it will be impossible to restore it. The place of crime and death of people should be protected till the end of investigation. It is our last hope. The ruins of the school can be examined repeatedly; it could be a really objective investigation, never conducted so far," Ella Kesaeva, co-chair of the "Voice of Beslan" told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Three months ago, the victims of terror act had already sent a letter with such request to Taimuraz Mamsurov and Chairman of Government N. Khlyntsov, but no answer followed.
