Chief Editor.
Hey. This is my first column as chief editor Layfhakera - I wanted to tell here about how glad purpose and correspondence embrace each of the 20 million readers, and then share the best texts of the week.
But there are better things to do.
I want to talk to you about the lawlessness and how scary when it gets into our country, our homes and our heads. In Thursday, June 6, was detained by the special correspondent of "Medusa" Ivan Golunov: he was accused of selling drugs. Journalists, civil society activists, businessmen - all around Ivan convinced of the innocence: Golunov known sharp investigate carefully the facts and meticulousness, and his professional reputation does not cause doubts. According to the journalist, the detention is related to preparing the investigation of the funeral services market - you can read the details link. During his detention, Ivan more than a day has not eaten or slept, was injured, but was not hospitalized. The first analyzes Golunova, incidentally, did not reveal traces of drugs.
Why do I say this? It seems that in the eyes of the country takes place one of the biggest stories of lawlessness: People are trying to punish him for an attempt to open their eyes to the truth. Today muzzle Ivan, and tomorrow can shut any of us, if we dare to express aloud what we are concerned about. It is our task - to prevent it.
The arrest of Ivan shook me and burned from the inside. And not only me, hundreds of people across the country took to the rallies and thousands signed a petition asking for a fair course of the investigation. The case made public - and the correspondent of "Medusa" was released under house arrest. This is no victory, but a small step toward her.
Layfhaker support colleagues and their demands to conduct investigations fairly. We believe that violations of the law can not be silent. And we'll talk about them - and share with you tips on how to live honestly and not to allow others to live dishonestly. You can also join the war against lawlessness. That's what I would suggest.

2. Do not be silent when your rights are violated
Wide publicity prevents unfair conduct business, to falsify test results and exceed the job credentials. Discuss the news that disturb you. Share information. Spread materials Ivan Golunova if too sympathize with his fate.
3. Maintain human rights organizations
For example, "agora"That protected Ivan Golunova in the early days. Once legal aid may be required to you.
Beware of those who tell the truth and do not be afraid to speak the truth for yourself.
