- a translation of Oyub Titev's final address to the court at his trial.

- the first of a series of news items selected by Sergei Nikitin, former head of Amnesty International's Moscow office - this item on violations of human rights at Prison Colony IK-16 in Sverdlovsk region.

- translation of an interview with Natalia Taubina, head of Public Verdict Foundation, a major Russian human rights organisation that has just celebrated its 15th anniversary.
