General Pronin expressed his concern over the rise in the number of hate crimes, but at the same time assured the audience at a public meeting that, &quot;Today I can state with full responsibility that we have blocked a wave of such crimes in the city, this process is halted and will not increase in the future&quot; (&quot;На сегодняшний день могу со всей ответственностью заявить, что волну таких преступлений в городе удалось блокировать, это процесс остановлен, и дальнейшего развития нет.&quot;). Strangely, out of these 52 crimes, Moscow prosecutors have only brought hate crimes charges in four of the cases.</p> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:17:00 -0700 nbutkevich comment 6 at http://www.coalitionagainsthate.org
