Women of Beslan

From a mosnews report (8.03.2005):

There were about 1000 people in the Square of Liberty in Vladikavkaz. First several mothers from the Committee took the stand, then there were representatives of other local organizations that support the Committee of Mothers. Although the Committee repeated that the demonstration is NOT political, many of the speakers were speaking out openly against Dzasokhov, the Republic's President. Official name ofthe demonstration is "Mothers against Terror".

Taking part in the action were representatives of Women of Beslan, an organization set up in the wake of the militants' attack on a school in the North Ossetian town of Beslan where over 1,000 people, mostly children, were held hostage on September 1-3 of 2004. Over 330 people were killed during the siege. Protesters carried placards, addressed to North Ossetia's President: "Dzasokhov, where is your conscience?" and "Terrorism in power is worse than al-Qaeda".
