Residents of Krasnodar Territory make series of video appeals to Medvedev

On the eve of the New Year, in the evening on December 31, a total of 38 video appeals of residents of the Krasnodar Territory to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev under the title "Kuban - to Russian President" were posted on the Internet.

The authors of the video appeals to Dmitri Medvedev, posted on the website of the Inter-Regional Public Movement "All Persons Are Equal under Law and before Court", in the YouTube, are acquainting the Russian President with the problems that they had failed to solve with the territorial authorities for a long time.

The accompanying text to the video appeals runs that all the authors are united by one problem: "their rights are severely violated; laws as applied to them work selectively; and the authorities and law enforcement bodies and courts humiliate their basic constitutional guarantees and freedoms."

"We've recorded a series of video appeals, in which every victim of lawlessness and arbitrariness tells about his or her personal problem. We hope that this time our appeals will be heard by you personally; and a tragedy like the one that happened in the village of Kuschevskaya will never repeat," the authors of video appeals say. "Mr President, you are the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation! Only your have the power to radically change the current situation in our territory. We have nowhere else to address."

In their video appeals to Medvedev residents of the Krasnodar Territory narrate their problems, caused, in their opinion, by inactivity of all levels of administrations, corruption in law enforcement bodies and power structures of the territory, as well as by judicial tyranny.

As declared by the initiators of the action "Kuban - to Russian President", it is only the first part of the public statements of residents of the Krasnodar Territory, "tired from incessant lawlessness." The action will continue in 2011.
