On Monday, the Meshchansky Court of Moscow will begin to consider the complaint of the defense of the special correspondent of The New Times, Moldova citizens Natalia Moral to refuse to let her into the territory of the Russian Federation. According to earlier lawyer Morar Yuri Kostanov, the complaint was filed in violation of a number of articles.
"When a person is going to expel from the country, all permits, in particular, for permanent work and others, must be canceled, which should be transferred to him," he said. Kostanov explained that this notice can subsequently be appealed. “However, she (Morar) was not awarded to her,” the defender noted.
In addition, the lawyer emphasized that any decision should be motivated, and Morar refused to motivate anything, “referring to Article 27 of the Law“ On Entrance and Track ”, which states that a person may be denied the entrance to the country in connection with the threat to the security and health of citizens,” Interfax reports.
“She was also informed that, according to the prevailing practice, the decision to apply such sanctions is not explained,” Kostanov said. The defender emphasized: "She is not a statesman and cannot be considered a person non grata in response to some actions of the authorities of her country."
Morar herself said that "in the submitted statement, Kostanov demands to recognize the actions and decisions of the FSB to prevent it to return to the Russian Federation to continue labor activity."
The correspondent of The New Times Morar on the night of December 16, 2007 was detained at the Moscow Domodedovo airport, where she arrived from Tel Aviv with a group of Russian journalists. The FSB officers informed her that it was decided on the undesirable of her stay in Russia. On the morning of December 16, Moral was deported to Chisinau.
Later, Morar received written confirmation from the Russian consulate in Moldova that she was prohibited from entering the territory of the Russian Federation for an indefinite period on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 27 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the procedure for entry and exit from the territory of the Russian Federation."
On February 27, Morar re -refused to let in Russia as a Russian wife. The journalist flew to Moscow by marrying a citizen of the Russian Federation - a correspondent for the same publication Ilya Barabanov, with whom she flew out of Chisinau.
Later, Morar said that she intends to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights against the Russian Federation in this regard.
