My mistake - I should have of course said 'firearms maintenance accident', because as we blatant Russophobes here on ARRSE well know, human rights activists in Russia, Chechnya and environs are always bundling themselves into vehicles and then shooting themselves- twice - in the back of the head...

She was also a member of the Memorial group, which was independent as far as I can tell.

Yes, but she was abducted in Chechnya and found in Ingushetia, where quite a large number of Chechens live if I recall.

I keep trying to read this paragraph with a straight face, but can't.

Oh, I don’t know. There seems to be some evidence to suggest otherwise. The attacks were awfully convenient for the then recently-installed President Putin.

Ah, I see – so it's standard FSB operating procedure to use just the one bomb when (theoretically) targeting civilians as part of a false flag operation?…right, I think I’ve got that.

Gallowglass, there are too few 'Russophobes here, if any.

Ms.Estemirova was also a member of civil commision for supervising of detention centres. The day of killing was very busy.She planned to take part in Police operation and visit local prosecutors office.

Indeed there are 20% Chechens and 77% Ingushes in Ingushetia. But as for criminal world then each ethnical gang has own territory.

Now Russian TV-1 has showed pres.Mevedev (he is in Germany now) who promissed to do everything possible to find the criminals. He paid tribute to the killed woman and warned about 'primitive versions'.

I have heard that initially relations between Chechen pres.Kadyrov and ms.Estemirova were good but later they were spoiled. The woman promoted liberal, secular views. She advocated rights of women. But the son of Mufty in fact imposed Islamic dress code in Chechnya.

As for the appartment bombings in Moscow then the very idea that they were made by Russian secret services is absurd.

I believe that mr.Brown and previously mr.Blair, the vast majority of British politicians prefer to see NI calm and peacefull. The sane is true for Chechnya (i mean of course Russian politicians).

From beyond the grave: A searing indictment of Putin's protegé

(A report by Natalya Estemirova, the Russian activist murdered in Chechnya as she investigated human rights abuses)

The abductions in Chechnya started nearly a decade ago. In 2000, Russian forces took control of practically the entire territory of the republic, and started extensive mop-up operations in villages.

Thousands of murders and abductions took place; these operations were declared to be an efficient method in the fight against rebels. In reality, however, the troops and police were looting the houses of unprotected civilians, at times taking away everything from them, from cars and furniture to shampoos and female underwear.

Most horrifically of all, women were raped in front of their male relatives, and all the men were detained, from teenagers to old men: they were either cruelly beaten, or released for ransom, or else they disappeared forever.

An extract from a 2,600-word article by Natalya Estemirova on the situation in Chechnya written in August 2008 but never published

It was not published just because ms.Estemirova haven't written this article. It is a typical forgery, an exaple of black propaganda.

Ms.Estemirova war a serious reseacher and a defender of human rights. She investigated real cases with date, place.

Btw, the Independent doesn't say who presented the article to the newspaper.

They were real terror acts. Allegation that they were staged by FSB are no more than allegations.

The "sugar sacks" incident in Ryazan was declared an 'exercise' by Moscow, despite meaning an entire apartment block was evacuated in the middle of the night in freezing weather, despite 4 shady characters (later revealed as officials from the FSB from their car registration) being seen planting the sacks and blasting caps, and all this so soon after real attacks (which have been called state murder to foment public anger against 'Chechen terrorists' ahead of another stage - managed War) which is baffling - why have Exercises so soon after real attacks? Pointless. Oh, and what about the two soldiers who were poisoned when they used 'sugar' from the confiscated sacks (in the military base the sacks were removed to, sugar needing to be locked up securely of course...) in their tea.

Simply put, Russia is the King of murdering and intimidating its own citizens, and has no respect of individual freedoms or human rights. The people have become so used to such things over time, they barely even question or notice it now.

Mate, what do you know about realities on the ground. Btw, some terror acts were prevented. The terrorists planned to blow a big residential building that is lockaed 900m (3000ft) from the house where I live.

Scenarios of the explosions that alas happened were similar. 'Traders' hired undegrounds of residential buildings to store 'goods'. It was sugar with 'additions'. Immediately as the method was understood a massive operation across Russia was launched - to check all undegrounds.

In some cases FSB in turn checked how local police perform the order to check all undegrounds.

In one very democratic country the police uses to shoot innocent people in the underground without any cause and without any punishment. The people have become so used to such things over time, they barely even question or notice it now.

Indeed! It was the beginning of the implementation of a cunning plan to assassinate all Brazilians in London one by one so as to provoke a violent reaction across the South Atlantic which would eventually have led to an invasion by the UK and the complete flattening of Brazilia...
Knob!

Indeed - if the person shot on the underground had been Shami Chakrabati, Serg would have a case to draw equivalence. It wasn't, and he doesn't.

And since that cunning wheez backfired, we've decided to go for the pre-emptive strike by polluting them to death with our rubbish.

Parapauk, I would like to make some points.

1. To make any general claims one must to present even one individual example.
2. One (or 2,3) examples are not sufficient to proof a general statement.

By my statement I showed how absurd the allegations made by our friend Para_medic look being translated to the British soil.

Indeed, the case with the Brazilian can not be used to make a general claim about the UK as a police state. And now try to find anything similar in Russia. I mean even one case of unlawfull (and unpunished) killing by the police.

For a comprehensive guide on how to do the above skilfully
Now, what allegations did I make? You are btw again comparing Russia to the UK - that's been established as a complete non-starter. Russia is conducting extra-judicial killings of its critics - as alleged by human rights workers like the one that had the recent disagreement with two 9.2x18.
Try better, tool.
