<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"On 12October 2006, MsAlina Zhukova, a daughter of MrsAlmira Rashitovna Zhukova, the Deputy Director for the Republic of Bashkortostan of the NGO ‘Helsinki Group’, was arrested on the basis of illegal possession of small quantities of marijuana.  Those narcotics were provided to MsAlina Zhukova by MrF. Polyakov, who was previously kidnapped, physically abused and threatened by officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Bashkortostan.  Those acts were reportedly perpetrated after MrsAlmira Rashitovna Zhukova, from the local office of the Helsinki Group, organised a press conference on the attempted suicide in the Meleuz town prison of 17prisoners. The Moscow Helsinki Group is an organisation affiliated with the International Helsinki Federation, an NGO enjoying participative status with the Council of Europe.  Will the Commission ask the Russian authorities for an explanation on those cases in order to prevent every possible attempt to intimidate NGO activists operating in Russia?  Which initiatives will be taken by the Commission — in particular under the revised EIDHR — in order to protect and strengthen the work of NGO activists and democracy advocates in Russia?  Does the Commission agree that the abovementioned cases show that the Russian authorities hardly comply with EU's objectives in the field of the rule of law, democracy and human rights? If not, why not?"
