 S-E. Ibragimov: "I hope, that my action will benefit Chechen people"
CHECHENPRESS, the Department of interviews, 12.01.06.
25-th day proceeds hunger-strike of the chairman of Association "For peace and human rights" Said-Emin Ibragmov before the building of Europarliament in Strasbourg. Our correspondent in Europe Saikhan Umarov has called with the head of organizing Committee on support of protest action of Ibragimov and his official representative Isa Atsaev.
Saikhan Umarov: Isa, what is the condition of Said-Emin?
Isa Atsaev: more than three weeks continues hunger-strike of S-E. Ibragimov. Naturally, the condition of his health causes in us strong alarm. Doctors urgently ask him to interrupt hunger-strike and estimate his condition as critical. They gave me written acknowledgement of the estimation and have declared, that henceforth are not responsible for his life. With the greatest work we managed to persuade Said-Emin to accept per day even 20-30 gramme of water.
S. U.: "Kavkaz-Tsentr" has informed, that Said-Emin has discharged from hospital. How it has taken place?
I. A.: Really, yesterday, under his requirement, we have taken him away from hospital and have taken to a building of Europarliament. Said-Emir continues the hunger-strike.
S. U.: Have deputies of Europarliament somehow reacted to this action?
I. A.: Absolutely not. Today to Said-Emin came prefect of police of Alsace, asked him to stop hunger-strike and after Said-Emin has refused, has gone to a building of Europarliament to persuade deputies to go to him. But nobody from deputies did not came out to us yet.
S. U.: What says Said-Emin? Is he going to heed entreaties and interrupt hunger-strike?
I. A.: On inquiries of representatives of MASS-MEDIA about further intentions, he has prepared the following statement: "I ask everyone to understand the purpose of this action correctly. We demand from the PASE and the United Nations to begin the direct duties and to recognize the fact of a genocide of Chechen people, rough infringements of rights and freedom of the person in the Chechen Republic.
I want to tell everyone who addresses to me with the request to stop hunger-strike, that I have great respect for them, but I can not do it - I am going to finish the begun business. My action will be interrupted only then when all our requirements will be accepted. And until it does not happen, I am not going to interrupt it. It is impossible to reconcile that 250 000 killed Chechens, and those whom kill today, were named "terrorists".
InshaAllah, I hope, that from this action there will be an advantage for Chechen people. We shall hope for the best. I do not know, with what this action will be finished, everthing may happen, and consequently I ask everyone to forgive me."
