Kharchenko Igor Olegovich
FKU SIZO-2 UFSIN Rossii po g. Moskve
ul. Novoslobodskaya d. 45
127055 Moskva Russia

Igor was arrested in September 2011. He is accused of having
participated in a fight on the 4th of July 2010, during which the
audience of a punk hardcore concert dispersed a band of nationalists,
who had come in order to kill and maim concert guests. Igor, however,
did not take part in the fight - plenty of those present at the concert
have given testimony, that during the fight Igor was performing in the
concert. The whole case against Igor relies exclusively
on the testimony of failed "race warriors", V. Sumin and V. Zhidousouv.
The true reason for the arrest of Kharchenko is an attempt by Moscow
investigators to take revenge on their failure to jail anyone for the
action by anti-fascists against the Khimki city administration on the
28th of July 2010. Igor's co-accused is one of the "Khimki hostages",
who has received refugee status in Western Europe after UNCHR
recognised, that the police investigation on the Khimki case was carried
out with various violations, for example confessions gained through use
of torture. Moscow investigators ignored the fact, that during this
fight Solopov was in Turkey, which is confirmed by the stamps in his
passport, and plenty of eye-witnesses.

The investigation also attempts to indict Kharchenko for "organising of
an extremist community," according to statute 282.1 of the Russian
criminal codex.

Sutuga Alexey Vladimirovich
FKU SIZO-2 UFSIN Rossii po g. Moskve
ul. Novoslobodskaya d. 45
127055 Moskva Russia

Alexey Sutuga has been a member of Autonomous Action since the early
2000s. He was first active in Irkutsk and then in Moscow. He
participated in every single major campaign of the anarchist movement in
the past ten years, and supported the journal Avtonom. In 2007, he
joined the ecological protest camp against uranium enrichment in city of
Angarsk in Siberia, which was assaulted by nationalists in the early
morning hours. Ilya Borodaenko from Nahodka of Pacific Ocean was
murdered there, and a number of other visitors of the camp were
seriously wounded.

Alexey was arrested on the evening of 17th of April, and has been in
remand prison since then. He, together with Alexey Olesinov, is accused
of having taken part in an incident in the Moscow club "Vozdukh", where
on 17th of December, during a punk-hardcore concert, a conflict between
the audience and the security took place. The club security, consisted
of supporters of the far right, and were provoking guests. Due to the
conflict, the concert was stopped prematurely, but the security
attempted to take some guests hostage, threatening them with punishment
from their friends - nationalist football hooligans. Concert guests
resisted, the security opened fire with rubber coated metal bullets, but
soon the concert-goers gained the upper hand and the security was
neutralised and sent to the hospital.
