The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO thinks that the verdict
of the Pacific Fleet Court on Grigory Pasko reflects the imperfections
in the whole of the law-enforcement system of the Russian Federation
and is at variance with the spirit of the Constitution. Owing
to an unreasonable system of imposing top secret libel on virtually
everything, anyone who attempts to inform the public of environmental
dangers caused by the poor economic performance of state structures
may end up in prison.
We are certain that the verdict in the Pasko case represents
the implementation of a political order targeted at imposing fear
in the citizens with possible repressions on behalf of the state.
such an order is formulated by the political forces in Russia’s
leadership which is trying to take revenge in domestic policy
for the shock they experienced after the recent international
initiatives of the President.
The President of Russia faces today a historic choice: either
his actions in foreign policy will be accompanied by steps to
create a European-style humane law-governed stated in, or these
actions will serve merely as a decoration covering traditional
bureaucratic arbitrary rule.
The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO will provide Grigory Pasko
with all possible means of assistance in his fight for freedom
and restoration of justice.
