Dear Colleagues,

Attached you will find a copy of our 4th quarter 2009 summary report. We would also like to make you aware that in the first two weeks of January, we had the following three incidents reported to us. All three were unprovoked and appear to be motivated only by racism

1. An employee of the Ghanaian embassy was beaten on New Year’s Day in an unprovoked attack while waiting at a bus stop.

2. A Ghanaian man who was traveling home after church on Sunday, 10 January received severe stab wounds, including a lacerated liver.

3. A Nigerian man was beaten on 12 January after exiting Tretyakovskaya metro station, sustaining a broken hand and severe cuts and bruises.

Thank you for your continued interest in our work. We continue to hope that creating awareness of this problem will encourage positive changes.
