The All-Russia Democratic Assembly expressed its support for TV-6, following a court decision to liquidate the television company.

According to the declaration of the Assembly adopted in Moscow on Monday, December 3, 2001: "We call on Russian and the international public to protect society’s right to a channel of information that is independent from the state.".

The declaration also stresses that the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court in a suit brought by one of the shareholders of TV-6 to close the television company provides a "graphic example of the type of "civil society" that has been built in Russia today."

The declaration also contains an appeal to the government of the Russian

Federation to "stop the arbitrary rule of bureaucracy, from the Ministry

of Property, towards the Central House of Journalists."

Representatives from Yabloko, the Union of Right-Wi ng Forces (SPS), democratic and human rights organisations participated in the work of the Democratic Assembly.

Based on Interfax reports.
