A massacre of human rights
 The Russian Party YABLOKO, ELDR member, calls for a cardinal change of the Russian federal policies in the Northern Caucasus. “The kidnapping and murder of Zarema Sadulayeva and Alik Dzabrailov shows the inability of the regional governments to perform their functions”, Sergei Mitrokhin, Chair of the party, said.
“It is obvious that the murder of human rights activists Zarema Sadulayeva and Alik Dzabrailov is connected with their professional activities”, he continued.

Radicali Italiani party visits Italian prisons 
Radicali Italiani, ELDR full member, led during the hottest summer days of August 15-16 a group of one hundred Italian MPs and regional councillors through the Italian prisons in order to monitor the conditions of detainees.
Senator Marco Perduca along with Rita Bernardini and Elisabetta Zamparutti invested their holidays in witnessing the overpopulation of the Italian penitentiaries and the bad conditions of most prisoners. “It’s firstly a fight for the defense of human and civil rights, and secondly for the secularism of the State and the decriminalization of cannabis” it’s the final message coming from I Radicali.

YDA Convention: LYMEC addresses US Young Democrats
“Over a thousand Young Democrats from all over the USA converged last weekend on Chicago, Illinois, for YDA’s biennial convention. The location of the Convention was a symbol of its own since Illinois's own, President Barack Obama, rallied young people from across the country to an overwhelming victory last November.
The Convention was notably the occasion of many traditional caucus meetings (LGBT, rural, labour, high school…) and training sessions on campaigning techniques. Among keynote speakers were the former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean, the mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, President Bill Clinton, and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
