| Statement by Dmitry Zlotnikov, activist of the Transnational Radical Party and the "Khramov's Club - Association for Libertarian Reforms" Moscow, June 1, 2003 The mayor of Moscow Yury Luzhkov in the article published in yesterday's issue of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" informed that the Moscow government, within the framework of "systematic extermination of the broad and many-sided infrastructure of drug business", is going "to tackle seriously the discotheques" and to close down them if anybody is found there in possession of drugs. Yury Mikhaylovich should better explain why does the Moscow government till now ignore the order of the Main Health Officer of the Russian Federation about implementation of programs for harm reduction and about opening of syringe exchange stations, in particular? Why don't the Moscow authorities wish to offer a helping hand to the people who fell into hands of the network of the "many-sided infrastructure of drug business"? Why is there one of the highest in the country rate of growth of HIV-epidemic in Moscow? Answers to these questions are to be heard from the Moscow mayor, instead of new ridiculous and populist (in the worse sense of this word) statements. |
