Sariya Saburskaya about the system of "People's control", resolution of conflicts on national grounds and education of tolerance

Since 2014, the system of "People's control" has made it possible to report anonymously manifestations of intolerance on religious and national grounds, as well as manifestations of extremism. In Tatarstan, 61 such appeals were received in three years.

"If in other categories other citizens can see who sent what address to where, in this category only the applicant sees the address and the receiving body. This is a very important aspect, including the reason that the one against whom it is directed does not see the statement. These reports are sent to the center for combating extremism of the Ministry of internal Affairs, where they are immediately received and taken into work. In addition, the result of the examination is also seen only by the applicant, "said "Tatar-inform" Commissioner for human rights in the Republic of Tatarstan Sariya Saburskaya.

For example, in Nizhnekamsk, a man complained that his neighbor called his family members Wahhabis. This appeal was accepted in work and considered – no crime was founded.

"But a more serious appeal was also this year: in one of the houses on Musin Street in the entrance there was an offensive inscription addressed to the citizens of Tajikistan and the swastika. Everything was confirmed at the scene, it, criminal case was opened. But here we also immediately reacted-reported to the management company that they immediately removed all this», said Sariya Saburskaya.

Each appeal should be considered within ten days, and thus "national control" as the moderator monitors quality of addresses and that consideration not to be delayed.

"I said that a criminal case was opened, this is one of the steps to prevent a more serious crime. We also have to take preventive measures. Perhaps there are deeper roots, not just "death to visitors", and maybe there were already some criminal acts. In the system, citizens can submit information about upcoming crimes, if they suddenly found out about it. Especially among those migrants who come to us temporarily to work. If we are talking about conflicts on ethnic, religious grounds-these are also very important points. Therefore, if such information is available, of course, it should be reported to prevent a crime. We have repeatedly appealed to the House of Friendship of Nations, addressed to different nationalities and diasporas with the wishes that people should not be indifferent to this problem," the Ombudsman said.

At the same time, as Sariya Saburskaya noted, a lot of work is being done in Tatarstan to eliminate manifestations of intolerance and instilling humanitarianism, respect for other religions and nationalities.

"It is also very important to come to the territory of the Russian Federation and to know about the legislation, the requirements that exist today. The House of Friendship of Nations is not only holidays; it is everyday work in every municipality. Very good practice in the House of Friendship of peoples, where quarterly the President of the Assembly of Friendship of Nations of Tatarstan Farid Khairullov together with the presidents of Diaspora meets with representatives of authorities. Emigration services, health authorities, employment center and other authorities are invited. If any questions arise somewhere, they are immediately taken for further work. This allows to avoid conflicts and implement on the spot any appeals to the authorities. I think that this great work allows to remove many problems", - the Commissioner for human rights emphasized.

Philanthropy and respect for others – this is what should be laid in a person from an early age, sure Sariya Saburskaya. In addition, it must be done,first of all, by the parents.

"The formation of the position of the young man, citizenship, tolerance should begin, be laid in the family and be supported at the level of society. In educational, preschool institution. For example, a child comes from kindergarten to school, a new team – teach him to live in this team. There are many cases when they begin to insult each other, and the task of the teacher is to form a good friendly children's team. You have to be tolerant of another child who may not be like you. While we will not do this, such manifestations will exist," said Sariya Saburskaya.
