Stop police reprisals against antifascists and Khimki Forest Defenders in Russia!
On July 30 two antifascist activists, were arrested in Moscow without formal charges of any kind. Maxim and Alexei are well-known public spokesmen of the growing movement of young people against neo-Nazi violence, and in recent years they have done much to expose the connections amongst government agencies, the police, and ultra-rightists in Russia. Their arrests came on the heels of a series of dramatic events that unfolded in July around protests against the destruction of a forest in Khimki, outside of Moscow. Because they have a stake in clear-cutting the forest to make way for a multimillion-dollar toll highway between Moscow and Petersburg,big business and state bureaucrats have unleashed a full-scale campaign of violence against the local residents and environmentalists who make up the protest group.
