CORRECTION:

 

In the article “K2R4 Nuclear Plant Opposition Leader Murdered in Kiev,” datelined October 3, 2002, we reported the following:

 

“A judge agreed in August to hear Public Control's case after the same court denied a lawsuit by six representatives of an environmental group against Energoatom, claiming completion of the nuclear plants posed an ecological threat to the country.  Alexei Tolkachov, a law student who is the chairperson of the Kiev-based Public Committee for State Security – a take-off of the Soviet-era KGB, or Committee for State Security – led the unsuccessful lawsuit.”

 

Actually, the lawsuit is being heard today in Kiev, October 7, 2002, in Kiev’s Perchersk District Court.
