Couple of weeks ago a group of Members of the European Parliament comdemned the attack on Galina Kozlova.

Now the entire European Parliament has done the same. EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes had this to say about the attack:

The commission regrets the violent attack on Galina Kozlova, which took place on January 25 in the capital of Mari republic, and I express my sympathy to her, to her family, and my best wishes for a speedy recovery from her injuries.

Russia will probably answer by attacking the messenger rather than addressing the serious human rights problems they have in regards to ethnic minorities.

Russian oppression of Mari-El activists still going strong

Galina Kozlova, the wife of Vladimir Kozlov, was brutally beaten after being sprayed with some sort of pepper spray substance on January 25th in Joshkar Ola, the capital of Mari-El.

Mari-El seems to be quite the dangerous place for Mari people.

Let’s see if the Russian controlled police manages to conveniently not find the perpetrator like in all previous assaults against Mari-El activists. Not a single violent attack against Mari-El activists so far has lead to a conviction, or even an arrest of anyone. These unknown assailants continue their reign of terror against Mari people and they go unpunished year after year.
