Anti-Discrimination Center \u201cMemorial\u201d made an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) back in 2014 concerning its persecution in Russia. Earlier St. Petersburg city court ordered ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d to register itself in the list of non-governmental organizations \u201cperforming functions of foreign agents\u201d<\/a>. Human rights report \u201cRoma, migrants, activists: victims of police arbitrariness\u201d<\/a>, which had been prepared by ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d for the UN Committee Against Torture in 2012, had been considered by the Russian authorities to be a case of this NGO\u2019s involvement in political activities. Representatives of ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d then appealed to the ECtHR referring to violation of Articles 10, 11 and 14 of the European Convention of Human Rights. ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d claimed that it had become a victim of unjust repression following publication of its human rights report, that its right to freedom of expression was violated, that it had become a victim of discrimination and that the very law on \u201cforeign agents\u201d adopted in Russia violated the right to freedom of association.<\/span><\/p>\n

International Service for Human Rights (ISHR) has recently filed an <\/span>amicus curiae<\/span><\/em><\/a> brief to the ECtHR in the legal appeal of ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d to the court. ISHR has pointed out that the right to freedom of expression included the right to unrestricted access to communication with international human rights bodies. According to ISHR, the case of ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d proves that there exist repressions and pressure on public associations cooperating with the United Nations Organization. Experts of the ISHR called on the ECtHR to ensure the protection of the right of safe communication of representatives of civil society in Russia with the UN. ISHR believes that Russia\u2019s demand for additional reporting of NGOs to the authorities and especially the negative stigma of \u201cforeign agents\u201d adversely affect the activities of NGOs in Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
