Russia, which declared a hunt for the "wrong" virtual resources of its citizens, asks Sweden to close the website Kavkaz-Center.
As the portal "Sight" (http://vz.ru/news/2013/5/15/632725.html) with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergey Lavrov, head of the ministry during a meeting with his Swedish counterpart Carl Bildt recalled the need to introduce a legal ban on the website Kavkaz-Center in the kingdom.
"Attention Head of Swedish foreign minister was drawn to the need to ensure the Swedish authorities of a legal ban on the activities in the country of a terrorist site Kavkaz-Center and the extradition of persons who have committed serious crimes in Russia," is said in the statement on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
Earlier, the Russian embassy in Stockholm has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sweden in a note in which he called avoid indulging in extremist organizations and ban the Internet site "Kavkaz-Center".
Based in Stockholm, the portal Kavkaz-Center is included in the list of UN Security Council sanctions in July 2011, but continues to work. Last December, the Russian Foreign Ministry demanded that the Swedish should ban the site and give the Russian side a member of the radical Islamist group "Hizb ut-Tahrir" Eldar Zamzin. In September last year the Nikulin District Court of Moscow found extremist the website Kavkaz-Center.
Recall Sweden on freedom of the Internet is the world leader, so it is unlikely to prohibit the mentioned site. - 17D-
