Letter to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
Lvov, 8 October 2012
Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE)
Dear Sirs and Madams,
it was reported that Russia intends to discuss the activities of the European social services at the PACE meeting.
The Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe began to collect signatures under its initiative to examine the practices of the European social services, which remove children from their parents.
The initiative has been backed by the representatives of Great Britain, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate fully supports the activity of the Russian delegation to PACE. The activities of social services, that implement bestial juvenile mechanisms, are crimes against humanity. These services piratically steal children from their loving parents. Thereafter spiritual, mental and physical devastation of children follows. Brutal system of social services must be abolished, the culprits punished and children and families must be ensured safety.
