Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights reminds that in March 2009 we received a complaint from residents of  Karabash city of Chelyabinsk region  in Russia about violations of  environmental law by the local companies.
Neighborhood of the city resembles frames of the movie «Terminator» or images from the planet Mars where the red river and black streams are flowing, where there are no vegetations, where mountains of industrial waste rise. We have got information from local residents that their average life - 38-40 years.
30 April 2009 due the catastrophic environmental situation in the city Karabash the Association had been prepared and sent the appropriate addresses to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and President of Public Chamber of Russia Evgeny Velikhov.
In the addresses Evgeny Arkhipov a Chairman of Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights suggested to join forces for saving people life and the environment around Karabash.
In the addresses to Mr. Medvedev and Mr. Velikhov, we ask  as soon as possible to resolve issues of relocation of  Karabash  inhabitants at nearby towns that are outside of the negative effects of Karabash harmful industries, we suggest Russian Government to organize environmental examination of independent experts  under civil society and media control, in case of impossibility of installation pollution control equipment we ask the Government to close the hazardous industries in Karabash - Evgeny Arkhipov said.
