Please call on the Russian authorities to return the computers and other seized materials to the organization so that it can continue its work.

On March 20, 2008, police in Nizhny Novgorod - Russia's third largest city located some 300 miles from Moscow - raided the offices of the Nizhny Novgorod Foundation for the Promotion of Tolerance. The Foundation is an independent human rights organization that has been the target of a sustained campaign of persecution and harassment since 2005.
