Former police officer Aleksey Dymovsky, who criticized Russia’s law enforcement agencies in his video address to President Medvedev, has been arrested for threatening a law enforcement officer on Friday.
How strange?A police officer risks his career and reputation to apparently expose the truth and he ends up being the one arrested.The mind boggles.So this in turn sends out a message that anybody who wishes to speak out with their opinion risks the same fate. There I was thinking for a moment that Russia was a democratic country? Yes the officer was not very discreet about his methods but a reprimand surely would have sufficed here and a system put in place for such complaints.
The greatest people in Russia are always in jail. Who is telling the truth pays a very heavy price. How many great writers have rotted in prison. How many journalists have been killed. This is our story and I'm not proud. What can I do for Alexis? If the government wants to sit for his words. There is freedom of speech in Russia. There is no freedom after speech.
Sorry but these are the things that make Russia look really bad! and unjust! Luca
