The group was created in response to what they see as the incompetence and excessive force used by the security services, especially with regard to the firing from tanks and flame throwers at the school.
On February 22, 2006, members of Voice of Beslan met with United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour.
[11] "The decision was made by the authorities because our organization is fighting for the right to have a fair investigation of what happened in Beslan," group founder Ella Kesayeva said.
[15] In January 2008 Russian prosecutors in Nazran, Ingushetia, laid extremism charges against campaigners over a 2005 appeal the group issued to politicians in Europe and the United States.
In a public appeal, Voice of Beslan asked the Russian president Vladimir Putin to stop prosecuting the organization.
[25] The group threatened to use a legal action brought by authorities against them to expose Putin's role in Beslan tragedy.
