The Beslan Mothers Committee on Thursday circulated an appeal by victims of last year\'s school siege in Beslan, urging foreign governments to grant political asylum to the parents and relatives of the victims. \"We, the parents and relatives of the victims killed in the terrorist attack on School No.1 in Beslan on September 3, have lost all hope for a fair investigation into the causes of our tragedy and for finding the perpetrators. We do not want to live in this country, where human life does not mean anything. We are requesting political asylum in any country where human rights are observed,\" the Beslan Mothers said. \"We have been waiting patiently for nearly a year for words of truth about the savage murder of our relatives and for the day when the perpetrators are brought to account. However, time and the authorities have shown us that the truth will never be spoken, because it is absurd and horrible,\" the organization said. The authors write that they have been betrayed by \"politicians, officials and law enforcement officers\" and that they have been \"driven to despair and have lost hope of hearing the truth about those responsible for the murder\" of their relatives.
