Il Tempo: Baltico, droni su Estonia e Lettonia: "Effetti dell'aggressione russa a Kyev"

Un drone russo si è abbattuto su territorio estone colpendo una ciminiera della centrale elettrica di Auvere, senza però provocare feriti né provocare danni alle infrastrutture elettriche. La procuratrice generale dell'Estonia, Astrid Asi, ha spiegato che sulla base delle "informazioni attuali" il colpo "non era diretto" verso il paese e che le prime indagini chiariranno le circostanze più specifiche. Secondo prime spiegazioni, il fatto sarebbe avvenuto nel corso di scontri a mezzo droni fra russi e ucraini nella regione del Mar Baltico. Il governo estone, comunque, si è riunito in seduta d'emergenza per valutare "l'incidente di sicurezza". 
Poco dopo il fatto un altro drone proveniente da territorio russo si è schiantato in Lettonia, sebbene per la premier Evika Silina si tratterebbe di un mezzo "probabilmente ucraino".  L'Aeronautica militare ha riferito di aver identificato "un veicolo aereo senza pilota nello spazio aereo lettone proveniente dalla Russia" e che "i sistemi di allarme rapido hanno rilevato un suono simile a un'esplosione" nella regione di Kraslava, al confine con la Bielorussia, alleata di Mosca. I resti del drone sono stati recuperati e nessun civile è rimasto ferito e l'incidente non ha causato danni materiali. "Questi sono gli effetti della guerra di aggressione su larga scala della Russia" ha affermato il direttore generale del Servizio di sicurezza interna estone (Iss), Margo Palloson, aggiungendo di temere "il verificarsi di simili incidenti in futuro".

Baltic, drones in Estonia and Latvia: "Effects of the Russian aggression in Kyiv"

A Russian drone crashed in Estonian territory, hitting a chimney of the Auvere power plant, but without causing injuries or damage to the electrical infrastructure. Estonian Prosecutor General Astrid Asi explained that based on “current information,” the strike “was not directed” at the country and that initial investigations would clarify the specific circumstances. According to initial explanations, the incident occurred during drone clashes between Russians and Ukrainians in the Baltic Sea region. The Estonian government, however, held an emergency meeting to assess “the security incident.”

Shortly after the incident, another drone from Russian territory crashed in Latvia, although for Prime Minister Evika Silina it would be “probably a Ukrainian” device. The Estonian Air Force reported identifying “an unmanned aerial vehicle in the Latvian airspace originating from Russia” and that “rapid alarm systems detected a sound similar to an explosion” in the Kraslava region, bordering Belarus, a Moscow ally. The drone wreckage was recovered and no civilians were injured and the incident did not cause material damage. “These are the effects of Russia’s large-scale aggression war,” said the Director General of the Estonian Internal Security Service (ISS), Margo Palloson, adding that he feared “similar incidents occurring in the future.”

Il Tempo: Drone russo colpisce una centrale elettrica in Estonia

TALLINN (ESTONIA) (ITALPRESS) – Un drone proveniente dallo spazio aereo russo ha colpito, la scorsa notte, alle 3.43 locali, la ciminiera della centrale elettrica di Auvere, nel nord-est dell'Estonia. Non si registrano feriti e il sistema elettrico estone non ha subito danni, assicurano le autorità e la società energetica Enefit Power, che gestisce la centrale. Sul posto sono intervenuti gli specialisti del Corpo di Soccorso per la disattivazione di ordigni esplosivi, mentre la Procura Generale ha aperto un procedimento e il Servizio di Sicurezza Interna ha avviato un'indagine. “Secondo le informazioni attuali, il drone non era diretto verso l'Estonia. Sono in corso le prime indagini, che chiariranno le circostanze più specifiche”, ha affermato in un comunicato il Procuratore Generale dello Stato, Astrid Asi. “Questo è uno degli effetti della guerra di aggressione su vasta scala condotta dalla Russia. E' ragionevole supporre che assisteremo ad altri incidenti di questo tipo”, ha invece sottolineato Margo Palloson, direttore generale del Servizio di Sicurezza Interna.Liisa-Ly Pakosta, ministro della Giustizia estone, ha fatto sapere all'emittente pubblica “ERR” che il Governo si riunirà questa mattina in sessione straordinaria in risposta all'incidente.

Russian drone strikes power plant in Estonia

TALLINN (ESTONIA) (ITALPRESS) – A drone originating from Russian airspace struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant, northeast of Estonia, late last night at 3:43 local time. There were no injuries and the Estonian power grid sustained no damage, according to authorities and Enefit Power, the energy company that operates the plant. Emergency responders specializing in the deactivation of explosive devices were on the scene, while the General Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation and the Internal Security Service launched an inquiry. “According to current information, the drone was not aimed at Estonia. Initial investigations are underway to clarify the specific circumstances,” State Prosecutor Astrid Asi stated in a statement. “This is one of the effects of the large-scale aggression war conducted by Russia. It is reasonable to assume that we will witness other incidents of this type,” Margo Palloson, Director General of the Internal Security Service, emphasized. Liisa-Ly Pakosta, Estonian Justice Minister, informed the public broadcaster “ERR” that the Government would hold an extraordinary session this morning in response to the incident. – photo Ipa Agency –(ITALPRESS).

#SilencingDissent: The Crackdown on #PeacefulProtest in #Europe

In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries.

"The right to peaceful protest is essential to our democracies, allowing people to come together with a unified voice to support or oppose key issues. It serves as a powerful mechanism for individuals to hold their governments to account and is often the last resort when prior messages go unheard. However, politicians often perceive this right as a threat, especially when force of numbers demonstrates support for an issue.

"In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries - from bans on individual protests to the disproportionate use of force by the police and legislative changes. A widespread trend emerged of restricted #ProPalestine protests and #EnvironmentalDefenders receiving particularly harsh penalties.

Bans on Protests

"Restrictions on various protest movements justified on public safety grounds were documented in many member states. In #Germany, the Berlin Assembly Authorities implemented a temporary blanket ban targeting pro-Palestine demonstrations. Initially, the ban targeted celebrations of the mass murder and pro-Hamas demonstrations but later extended to all pro-Palestinian protests. Similarly, in #Latvia, an unregistered #FreePalestine movement protest was banned after an assessment by the state security service that the event would, among other risks, harm the country’s international interests.

"The #Estonian police banned a protest in support of Palestinians, which was later declared unlawful by the administrative court. In #Hungary, Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán publicly prejudiced support for Palestinians by linking it with #terrorism, equating solidarity with civilians victims to threats to the public order. As the fifteen attempts to organise protests were successively banned, the government and the Prime Minister re-asserted their power by deciding what can be demonstrated for, namely, topics in line with their political interests."
