The European Court of Human Rights made an important decision in the group of cases of a new newspaper and others against Russia and 161 other statements. In these matters, Russia was found guilty of the persecution of people for criticizing the Russian army and war in Ukraine. The press service of the Ministry of Justice on Wednesday, February 12, informs about this. . For such statements by Russian courts, fines were made, people were arrested and convictions were sentenced. . Ukraine took part in the case as a third party and emphasized that the repression for pro -Ukrainian views began after the occupation of Crimea. . The court indicated that the persecution of the critics of the war was part of a wide campaign to suppress dissent, and the arguments of the Russian Federation to justify repressions did not have any reason. . The ECHR confirmed that the application of Russian legislation in the occupied territories is illegal. . . According to the new norm, the payment of monetary compensations for the implementation of the ECHR decisions made before March 15 can be carried out exclusively in rubles and only to accounts in Russian banks. Decisions of the Strasbourg Court will now not be the basis for revising the decisions that are made by Russian courts. . . PIDS INSIALLY OUR CANEL HTTPS: // T.
