Lithuanian court approves shutdown of Kavkaz Center |
2005-09-20 |
Lithuania's constitutional court has ruled on Monday that authorities are not in violation of the country's constitution after they shut down a pro-Chechen independence Web site last year. The court ruled that the State Security Department acted lawfully when it ordered the pro-Chechen independence Web site Kavkaz-Center shut down last year after its operator posted a message purportedly from Chechen rebel warlord Shamil Basayev claiming responsibility for the three-day siege of a Russian school in Beslan. More than 330 people died in the school seizure, most of them children. It was impossible to confirm whether the letter on the Web site was genuine, but Basayev's previous claims of responsibility have appeared there. |
