Case on threats to SRChF deputy head closed for finding no guilty persons

Oksana Chelysheva, deputy head of the "Society of Russian-Chechen Friendship" (SRChF), has informed the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that in Nizhni Novgorod the Prosecutor's Office has stopped investigation of the criminal case initiated on March 30, 2005, on crime attributes stipulated by Articles 129 (slander) and 130 (insult) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The "Caucasian Knot" has already informed that on March 14, 2005, in several multi-storey houses, located in the Iyulskikh Dney Street in Nizhni Novgorod, unknown persons disseminated leaflets with accusations of approval of terrorism and assistance to Chechen militants directed to the address of Oksana Chelysheva.

According to Stanislav Dmitrievskiy, leader of the banned in Russia "Society of Russian-Chechen Friendship," the anonymous leaflets contained the residence address of O. Chelysheva and "dirty insults and threats of physical violence":

"After numerous appeals of international organizations, the Prosecutor's Office 'with setbacks at every step' initiated a criminal case on the above fact, but, certainly, found nobody. In September, similar leaflets appeared already in my block of flats. Here again the law enforcement bodies proved to be powerless.

We emphasize here that the sources of this miserable attempt are also, directly or indirectly, the state power and its propagandist and force agencies."
