The Association for the Prevention of Discrimination and Isolation of Russian Germans and Russian-Speaking Compatriots in Germany (VADAR) will demand that the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, respond to the statement of Czech President Petr Pavel about the need to spy on Russians in Western countries, TASS reports.
In addition to assessing the words of Pavel, which the association considers Russophobic, human rights activists are waiting for the authorities to respond to violations of human rights on a national basis.
The association noted that in his statement, the Czech president cited the example of the Japanese in the United States, who were under surveillance at the beginning of WWII. VADAR stressed that Washington was subsequently forced to apologize for the Japanese internment camps.
VADAR President Ulrich Oyme called it inexplicable that evidence of American disgrace was presented by the Czech president as an example to be followed. Oyme saw in Pavel’s statement a call to ''put Russians in camps,'' which follows from the context of his words, as well as a blatant violation of human rights and ''a fact of outright Russophobia.''
In Russia, the proposal of the Czech leader was called Nazi, such a definition was given by Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov.
