13.5.18
Siberian Indigenous Activists Flee Russia Fearing For Safety: -rferl.org - The Tannagashevs are known for their campaign to shut down coal-mining operations in regions inhabited by the Turkic-speaking Shor people, one of Siberia's oldest indigenous groups, which currently numbers some 13,000 people.
The two activists say that coal mining damages the local environment.
According to Kulayeva, the Tannagashev family had been under constant government surveillance and their telephones had been bugged.
"Police several times urged them to renounce their activities and security officers put pressure on them, summoning their friends and relatives for questioning," Kulayeva said.
