A Statement Issued by the "Circassian Culture
And Human Rights Center” CCAHRC
on Arresting Circassian Activists by the Russian Authorities
The elapse of more
than 150 years from the end of the Russian-Circassian War did not change and
apparently did not modify the Tsarist Russian exclusion, oppression and elimination
policies adopted by the consecutive Russian regimes against the Circassian
indigenous nation that started when the Russian forces invaded Circassia, and
still going on in a variety of tactics and strategies.
It must be known
to imperialists that the majority of the Circassian nation whether at homeland
or in Diaspora is "positive to be doubtful, too
optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated”, while they are enforcing
a malignant plan in an attempt to draw attention away from the absurd Sochi Olympic
Games in a wishful thinking approach to minimize the Circassian nationalists’ opposition
to Russia’s plans.
The "Circassian
Culture And Human Rights Center” CCAHRC expresses its outrage, refusal and
condemnation against the latest of series of Russian authorities’ encroachments
and intimidations carried out on the evening of Friday the 13th of
December, 2013, by arresting the Circassian activists in the Circassian regions
of the North Caucasus and were sent to Krasnodar by FSB units in contrast with inalienable
human rights fundamentals. The Circassian silence and patience had never meant
to be a loss of memory as the wrong impression on that should end immediately,
and it’s about time for the people of falsehood to stop thinking and acting as
if they are right!
The Russian
violations are not acceptable, especially at a time, the whole world is paying
tribute for Nelson Mandela who resisted and ended the Apartheid regime and
restored freedom for his people. The Circassian legitimate rights still exist
no matter how bullying, intimidation and harassment process is introduced and
imposed!
The "Circassian
Culture And human Rights Center” CCAHRC is honored to extend its applaud and
brotherly greetings to Circassians in the North Caucasus and particularly the
Circassian leading leaders who were detained by the Russian authorities which
had to back down and release them as a result of the protests and condemnation,
and at the same time the CCAHRC is urging the world at large, the United
Nations, the European Union, the Human Rights organizations and the civilized
world to take the corrective action of recognizing the Circassian legitimate
rights.
Long live Circassia…
