MOSCOW. May 10 (Interfax-AVN) - State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov has claimed Estonia's law enforcement services overreacted while dealing with defenders of the Bronze Soldier memorial in Tallinn and described their actions as "brutal."
"Information available to us exposes the Estonian law enforcement services' brutal methods," Gryzlov told the press on Thursday.
A working group dispatched to Tallinn by the Duma gathered photos, videos and mobile phone pictures "exposing these brutal methods" and will publish them soon, he said.
Priority will be given to facts confirming human rights abuses in Estonia.
The Russian delegation's work was obstructed in Estonia, but the deputies fulfilled their mission, he said.
The materials gathered are sufficient to talk about human rights abuses in Estonia at international parliamentary organizations, including at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Gryzlov said.
Our deputies could speak in detail about human rights abuses in Estonia and demand emergency debates on the issue, Gryzlov said.
