Front Line is deeply concerned following the Supreme Court of North Ossetia's decision to uphold a ban on human rights organisation Voice of Beslan. A Nasran district court has also filed charges of extremism against the organisation. Voice of Beslan is an organisation representing the rights of victims of the Beslan hostage crisis in 2004, in which a terrorist group seized a school, taking 1128 hostages and killing over 200 adults and children. Voice of Beslan has monitored and publicly criticised the Russian Federation authorities' handling of the investigation into the tragedy. They have submitted an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights and have called for an international enquiry into the conduct of Russian Federation security forces during the rescue operation.
