UN body criticises Russia abuses

Russia has failed to protect journalists, activists, prison inmates and others at odds with authorities from a wide range of abuses, including torture and murder, a new report by the UN Human Rights Committee says.
The findings came from an 18-member panel of independent experts who urged the Kremlin to implement a number of legal reforms which it said would improve conditions in Russia.
The proposed measures include narrowing the broad definitions of terrorism and extremism under Russian law, decriminalising defamation cases against journalists and granting appeal rights to people forced into psychiatric hospitals by the courts.
Friday's report also said Russia was responsible for reported attacks on civilians by armed groups in South Ossetia in the aftermath of the August 2008 war with Georgia, and called on Moscow to investigate those abuses.

We can see, that the un truly participates in improving countries which is a good think to be done, i think that this laws that the un is going to implement is good because is fair that the media open people eyes, and they dont diserve to die for expressing freely respecting and because of try to say the truth.
