COURT CASES

This section is being updated

Project GayRussia.Ru has initiated several claims and court cases over the last months. Any hate speech will systematically follow a request to start a criminal investigation to the General Prosecution of the Russian Federation. Below is a summary of our actions. More details can be found on the site.

Next step : ECHR to accept or deny the case.

Krasnodar : Illegal demonstration aginst the Moscow Pride (Oct. 05)

Request sent to the General Prosecution in Moscow against the hate speech of the organizer of an illegal demonstration held in Krasnodar in October 2005.

Our request was transferred to the Prosecution department of Krasnodar.

The local office answered to us that there was no reason to start a prosecution

The prosecution sent "a warning" to the organizer for breaching the administrative code.

Next step : We will now appeal the decision of the Prosecution not to start a criminal prosecution against the organizer.

Mufti Talgat Tadjudin : Hate speech towards gays in an interview (Feb. 05)

Request sent to the General Prosecution in Moscow against the hate speech of the Mufti.
