Mass riots took place this weekend in a small - less then 40 thousand people - town of Kondopoga in the republic of Karelia (which is situated to the North of St. Petersburg). It began with an ordinary fight of drunken people in a restaurant and finished with pogroms against people from the Caucasus and clashes of the local inhabitants with the riot police.
The International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights (IHF) and the Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG) condemn the ethnically motivated riots that occurred in the city of Kondopoga in the Russian Republic of Karelia during the weekend and call for prompt and effective measures to bring to justice those who incited and participated in the violence.
