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.
