We Are Sutyajnik. 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
12. News Agency Sutyajnik-Press
The news agency Sutyajnik-Press has greatly expanded its informational resources.
In 2005 the first human rights internet-radio station Sutyajnik was created (www.sutyajnik.ru/radio).
Our broadcasts can be heard anywhere on the globe. Anyone with access to the
worldwide web can log on to our website and learn about human rights news.
Visitors to our studio have included lawyers, representatives of
non-governmental organizations, government bodies and local government
authorities, and ordinary citizens.
The pilot broadcast of Sutyajnik Internet-Radio was devoted to the International
Day of Solidarity with Political Prisoners. Dissident Vladimir Shaklein and
attorney at the Ural Center for International and Constitutional Protection of
Human Rights Lyudmila Churkina participated in the broadcast.
The broadcast, which rallied for the cancellation of gubernatorial elections,
elicited a widespread public response. Sergey Smerdov and attorney Roman
Kachanov, his representative in the Constitutional Court of the Russian
Federation (where the petition on the unconstitutionality of the cancellation of
gubernatorial elections had been sent) came forward in front of Sutyajnik
Internet-Radio listeners to discuss the infringements of citizens’ rights to
free and fair elections.
With the goal of illuminating in the mass media the human rights problems
attorneys have been working on over the past year, the news agency
Sutyajnik-Press held several successful press conferences in 2005. Here are some
of them.
