The text of the leaflet:

Stop the repression against defenders of Khimki forest!

July 28, 2010 in front of the administration in the Moscow suburb of Khimki, more than 400 young anti-fascists and autonomy had a spontaneous demonstration in defense of Khimki forest, which in those days were cut down for the needs of big business.During the action, no one was hurt. However, the arrogant, corrupt authorities perceived this action as a challenge and started to miss everyone.

Was fabricated criminal charges against anti-fascists Gaskarova Alexey and Maxim Solopova. They face up to seven years in prison for hooliganism, although there is no evidence of their involvement in illegal activities. On the other activists, particularly involved in the antifascist movement, continues a police hunt.

In violation of all laws to force people brought in for questioning, their apartments were illegal searches, and in some cases it came to severe physical violence against interrogation, to drive the necessary corollary of these statements.

For three years, as there is a struggle for the salvation of Khimki forest. By the authorities, the forest cut down for construction of the first fee (!) Highway Moscow - of St.-Petersburg.This will lead to a deterioration of the ecological situation in the region and depriving the local population and Muscovites regular recreational area. Despite the availability of alternative routes that do not require cutting down forests, and the loud protest of environmentalists and ordinary citizens against the chosen route, the authorities do not want to hear the voice of environmentalists and local residents.

On the contrary, the authorities are trying to suppress it: it refused to agree on actions, then hire a football hooligans, neo-Nazis to disperse peaceful camps environmentalists, then detained and beaten journalists, then violently forcing people to subscribe Khimki "for deforestation, threatening with the dismissal from work and other problems.

In March, Ukraine has been detained anti-fascist Dennis Solopov, whom Russian authorities suspect of involvement in the action in Khimki. He is a refugee of the UN and can not be transferred by legal means in Russia. But Russian authorities are seeking his extradition from Ukraine.

- We demand an end to the criminal case against Alexei Gaskarova and Maxim Solo Peninsula!

- We demand an end to the destruction of the Khimki woods!

- Recognize the extradition Dennis Solopova impossible!

- Immediate release of Denis Solopova from under the guard!
