"Call  for Russians to emulate armed unrest in Albania"

CHAMBER ON INFORMATION DISPUTES COMPLAINS ABOUT OPPOSITION
NEWSPAPERS. 

The President's Judicial Chamber on Information Disputes has
asked
 Procurator-General Yurii Skuratov and State Press Committee
Chairman Ivan Laptev to examine
 whether the editors of the opposition newspapers Zavtra and
Sovetskaya Rossiya could be held legally
 responsible for misusing press freedom and violating the law
on the mass media, ITAR-TASS reported
 on 20 March. The chamber described various articles published
this month, some of them signed by
 Sovetskaya Rossiya Editor Valentin Chikin and Zavtra Editor
Aleksandr Prokhanov, as "large-scale
 political provocations aimed at destabilizing the situation in
the country." One article signed by both
 editors reportedly encouraged Russian citizens to "STUDY
ALBANIAN," which the chamber characterized as
 a call to emulate the massive armed unrest that has swept
Albania in recent weeks. -- Laura Belin
