Sierra Club rally protests persecution of russian environmentalist
Groups Urge Vice President Gore to Publicly Address Human Rights Violation
San Francisco, CA
The Sierra Club and other organizations organized a protest today in front of the Russian Embassy in San Francisco to decry the persecution of Alexander Nikitin, a Russian environmentalist who is unfairly being charged with treason. At the protest new information was released proving Nikitin’s innocence. Nikitin, winner of a 1997 Goldman Environmental Prize from the San Francisco-based Goldman Environmental Foundation, is being persecuted for contributing to a report which uncovered illegal nuclear waste dumping by the Russian Navy along an international fishing area.
