Nikolai Rybakov, member of the Federal Bureau of the YABLOKO
party, has sent to Vladimir Putin over 11,000 signatures collected
in favour of resignation of Pavel Astakhov, Ombudsman for
Childrens Rights (notoriously known for his support of the
orphans law and calls to return all the Russian orphans
adopted abroad back to Russia).
Over 11,000 signatures were collected in just a week, despite
ddos-attacks and Internet bots attacking the Demokrator.ru
website where the signatures were collected.
"We believe that a man who has cynically exploited the
death of a child [adopted by a US family] for his political
gain, can not hold the post of Children's Ombudsman,"
runs Rybakovs statement.
"I think that the president should not wave away the
appeal of 11,000 citizens. Let us at least make him think
whether his representative Mr. Astakhov has been acting in
an honest and due manner? Our final goal is still there: Russia
should have a decent defender of children," Nikolai Rybakov
said.
Rybakov also noted that he expected a new wave of attacks
on the initiators of the appeal. Earlier, Astakhovs supporters
had already accused Rybakov of "destruction of the Russian
army," and "undermining of Russias transportation
and transit of policy", and Ombudsman Astakhov also announced
that pedophiles want his resignation.
