MOSCOW, December 15 (RIA Novosti) - Prosecutors have questioned Alexander Belov, the leader of a far-right anti-immigration organization, but decided to bring no charges against him, Belov said Friday.

"The Karelia Prosecutor's Office's recommendation to the court did not include any custody measures against me pending trial," the head of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration told RIA Novosti.

Belov had said earlier that prosecutors in the northwest Russian region had launched criminal proceedings against him on article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code, on instigating race-hate.

On September 24, several hundred people took to the streets of St. Petersburg for a nationalist protest organized by Belov's Movement Against Illegal Immigration.

The protest was part of a wave of demonstrations that had been triggered by a killing blamed on Chechens.

Two Russians were killed in a restaurant brawl with Chechens in the northern town of Kondopoga, Karelia, in early September. This sparked racial mob violence in the community and a wave of nationalist demonstrations elsewhere in the country.

The week before the St. Petersburg rally, Belov's organization staged a similar protest in central Moscow, urging the government to tighten control over workers and students from the Caucasus and ex-Soviet Central Asia.
