“OVD-Info” said that on December 13 they received an e-mail letter without an addressee demanding to appear the next day at the Lukhovitsky prosecutor’s office. The project’s lawyer fulfilled the requirement, but “the essence of the claims was not explained to her.” On December 15, the materials were handed over to the court without notifying OVD-Info. On December 20, the court issued a decision on blocking ovdinfo.org .
The human rights project “OVD-Info” was included in the list of “unregistered public associations performing the functions of a foreign agent” on September 29. The court refused to exclude the project from the register. The reason was, among other things, the publication of materials on “how to avoid responsibility for extremist offenses”, as well as templates of complaints and statements to the court against the actions of law enforcement officers.
