Novorossisk militiaman complains to Putin of his bosses

Human rights activists are ready to support militiaman Alexei Dymovskiy from Novorossisk in the context of his open statements about his militia bosses' abusive practice.

Militia Major Alexei Dymovskiy has published a video address to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, where he tells about numerous malversations of militia bosses, in particular, those in command of the GUVD (City Interior Department) of Novorossisk. The Major asks Putin about a private rendezvous.

According to Vadim Karastelyov, deputy director of the Novorossisk Committee on Human Rights, Mr Dymovskiy has told "far from everything that takes place in the militia of Novorossisk."

"What happens in the Novorossisk militia is even more terrible; however, there are no other militiamen, ready, like Alexei Dymovskiy, to tell the truth about the real situation," the "Echo Moskvy" Radio quotes Mr Karastelyov.

The Russian Public Chamber is going to hold an investigation into the facts narrated in Alexei Dymovskiy's open letter and, if necessary, grant defence to him against possible sanctions and persecutions, as reported by the "Interfax".

Yesterday, on November 6, the GUVD of Novorossisk confirmed that Major Dymovskiy really works there; however, according to the acting chief of the Department Vladimir Grebenyuk, the statement of the militiaman has nothing to do with reality.
