MOSCOW, Jan 15 (AFP-NT) - Members of the Council of Europe attacked Russia's human rights record Saturday during a three-day fact-finding mission. They warned that Russia did not conform to human rights rules defined by the Council of Europe and recommended a series of reforms before the country could be admitted to the organisation. Russia was violating human rights in Chechnya, where troops have been fighting separatist guerrillas for more than a year, in the country's prisons and in the military, the members of the justice and human rights commission said. They called on the government to bring about immediate legal reforms, abolish capital punishment and move responsiblity for the prison system from the interior ministry to the justice department. They also warned Russia over restrictions on the right to freedom of movement for its citizens. The Council, with 38 member states, will decide on Russia's future in the organisation at a meeting in Strasbourg on January 25. A decision last year was deferred after Russia's military intervention in Chechnya. cpb/jl/rom AFP /AA1234/131523 GMT JAN 96
