An Open Letter to the International Community from the residents of the "Muromtsev Dacha"
We, the residents of the “Muromtsev Dacha“, call on the international community to take a stand against the very serious human rights violations being perpetrated against our families by the local authority in Moscow.
On Sunday, March 7, 2010, Moscow security forces and demolition workers tore down our home to make way for one of the Government's planned development projects, leaving our families homeless, including 5 children and a woman due to give birth.
No explanations were given and no documents were provided to us. The authorities referred to the eviction of our families and the demolition of our home as a "debris removal operation".
