20/03/2007 (Agence Europe) - Last week, the Parliament adopted a resolution condemning the attack on 25 January this year against Galina Kozlova, who is lead writer for the literary magazine, Ontšõko, and a member of the Mari Uchem administrative board, which represents the Maris, a Finnish-Hungarian people in Russia. No arrest has been made and the European Parliament calls for a “speedy, comprehensive and independent inquiry by federal and local judicial authorities into the attacks” against Ms Kozlova and other similar incidents. More generally, the resolution stresses the importance of minority languages and cultures in the Russian Federation and calls on the Commission to raise the matter during the regular EU-Russia human rights dialogue.
