Russian presidential advisor on amnesty and pardon matters, Anatoly Pristavkin, has called on international human rights organizations to facilitate the release of the hostages who are being held in a school in the North Ossetian town of Beslan. \"I am calling on the international human rights organizations to protect the principal right of our children - the right to live,\" reads Pristavkin\'s appeal. \"I am sure that those who have attacked the unarmed first-graders with assault rifles and grenade launchers in North Ossetia will be damned both by God and their peoples,\" he said. \"I am asking them to stop possibly at the last moment before something irreparable happens,\" Pristavkin said.
