Foundation for Civil Liberties sent videodisks with films of Chechnya Festival to members of parliaments of Great Britain, France, Germany, and US

The Foundation for Civil Liberties sent 2 thousand videodisks to members of the parliaments of Great Britain, France, Germany, and the US. As foundation head Aleksandr Goldfarb said while being on the air of the Echo of Moscow radio, films of the festival about Chechnya are presented on these disks.

The International Chechnya Film Festival was to be held in Moscow at the beginning of October. But the Cinema Center refused to demonstrate these pictures. Four films are on the disks: "Chechen Lullaby", in which "four reporters from Chechnya tell about their experience in covering the first and the second Chechen wars and show frames of terror that take place in Chechnya"; "Assassination of Russia", a French film presenting evidences of the Russian special services' belonging to the explosions of houses in Moscow in 1999"; "Terror in Moscow" telling about the hostage capture on Dubrovka; and "Murder with International Consent", a Polish film displaying shots from the last referendum that show how much adulterated it was," told Goldfarb.

"The purpose of the delivery of these disks is to remind the European Establishment that the most terrible barbarities in Europe since the World War II take place in Chechnya before everyone's eyes and, all in all, with the connivance of the leaders of the largest European countries," underlined Goldfarb. "The objective of the delivery is to call upon the parliaments of those countries to put pressure on their leaders so that they stop helping Putin to carry out such a policy", he added.
