Пикет в Берлине во время церемонии приветствия президента РФ Владимира Путина перед зданием канцелярии не остался незамеченным российским лидером, сообщил журналистам пресс-секретарь президента Дмитрий Песков.// "Путин обратил на это внимание. Это был 5 или 7-ой этаж канцелярии. Когда Путин и Меркель вышли на балкон, красочно справа простирался лес, а с лева было поле, на котором стояли люди, которые размахивали флагами разных государств. Они что-то кричали. Трудно было понять, что они хотели", - сказал Песков, отвечая на вопросы журналистов. (In Russian)

A l’occasion de la venue à Paris du président Vladimir Poutine le 1er juin 2012, des militants de Reporters sans frontières se sont rassemblés sur le Pont Alexandre III avec des activistes russes, syriens et iraniens pour protester contre la répression à l’œuvre en Russie, en Syrie et en Iran... Aux cris de “Poutine, Bachar : halte à la répression !” et “Pas de veto sur les droits de l’homme”, les militants ont appelé le président russe à écouter les demandes de démocratisation de la société russe et à cesser de cautionner les régimes les plus répressifs de la planète, à commencer par la Syrie et l’Iran. Deux pays où les professionnels de l’information paient très cher leurs tentatives de couvrir la répression orchestrée par les autorités. “Vladimir Poutine n’est pas seulement responsable du déclin dramatique des libertés publiques en Russie depuis une douzaine d’années. Censure et répression font partie intégrante du ‘modèle’ politique qu’il promeut sur la scène internationale. Au nom de la ‘lutte contre le terrorisme’ ou la promotion des ‘valeurs traditionnelles’, la Russie est en pointe de tous les combats livrés contre la liberté d’expression et la liberté d’information. C’est avec la complicité de Moscou que les massacres se poursuivent en Syrie depuis plus de quatorze mois. Et c’est avec le soutien de la Russie que la répression continue en Iran.” Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name "protestation" defined multiple times with different content
