Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users
to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response
is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual
response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the
browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published
online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed.
Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles.
The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being
wilfully misrepresented as published articles or when it is brought to our
attention that a response spreads misinformation.
From March 2022, the word limit for rapid responses will be 600 words not
including references and author details. We will no longer post responses
that exceed this limit.
The word limit for letters selected from posted responses remains 300 words.
Overcrowding is only one result of the biased and ineffective police
and court system in Russia. People who are supposed to do a tax crime may
be put in prison. The recent arrest of Khodorkovskii is an example.
Russia promised to EU to put penitentiaries under the Ministry of Justice,
but failed. Still KGB have its own prisons, which are not under the
Ministry of Justice supervision, and are not under the Parliamentary
control.
When european physicians called to protect Saddam's regime from military
actions, they very rarely attract attention of their Governments to the
human rights abuse in the Russia.
New totalitarian state, creating by the Russian KGB-origin government may
be the most dangerous neighbour to Europe, and put under the threat all
European prosperity. Increase of Tb incidence will be the less dangerous
outcome!
EU can help them
