As a frenchman I take some risk but there is some behaviors which I cannot accept (furbery, hypocrisy, lies etc.) This evening at 20:05 (Paris-time), France 2 TV (Group France-Televisions whose boss is named by Sarkozy) reported about the human rights activist kidnapping and murder. Without any hesitation "La voix de son maître" declared the chetchen president as the crime master-mind, linked directly to Mr Putin who supposantly made that Kadirov. After such a report, the russian police and justice have their job done. It is evident that franco-russian relations deserve a lot more sincerity (mostly from the french side. Remember: Liza's case). I suppose that the Ambassy of Russia, in Paris can confirm my comment. When seeing the handshakes and kissing in the multiple diplomatic furbery shows, I, simple, decent human, worry and ask myself: Sorry Future Generations; the actual mankind governance is pitiful. Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin

You have got be kidding me! Chechen and other international criminal and terrorist organisations have been kidnapping and massacring Russians and other non-Chechen ethnic groups who have ethnically cleansed the entire ethnic Russian population of Chechnya as well as areas of neighbouring regions and killing of moderate religious leaders yet not one has been documented or brought forth before the human rights court in Strasburg. Not that it would matter as it is a political court anyway set up to prosecute Serbs during the Balkans conflicts created by Soros. The fact that high profile killings on key dates to highlight maximum media attention would indicate a set up. Who finances this organisation we know that Politkovskaya received funding from NED and Soros HRW as well as info from Soros funded exiles groups abroad with is hardly unbiased as they also finance Chechen and other Islamic militants in the region.

Estemirova received foreign Money to stir trouble in Russia under the cover of human right, legally there are no way the government can touch her, it's time the Russia government should enact law to detained such person. For example, Singapore have internal Security Act which allow the authority to detained trouble maker when there was no concrete evidence, it work well, Singapore today is a free, safe and prosperous Country. Human right is good however human right when use to cause instability cause terrorist, unemployment misery and hungry stomach, it's wrong type of human right. Murder or senseless killing is not solutions to present problem.
