NPO from Kostroma, waiting for the court

Cases against NPOs in Russia are stamped as if under a carbon copy. This is evidenced by documents that were at the disposal of the Kostroma Center for the Support of Public Initiatives, which refused to recognize himself as a foreign agent.

The Chairman of the Board of the Center Nikolai Sorokin published the Directive of the Prosecutor's Office of the Chelyabinsk Region, indicating to check for foreign financing the women's public organization of the Zlatoust Civic Initiative.

The circular explicitly says that for the sample you need to take a decision to initiate an administrative case, issued by the Kostroma prosecutor.

The Kostroma Center for Support for Public Initiatives will be judged by the same article as the Voice association, which was recognized as a foreign agent the day before. The court in Kostroma was appointed on April 29.

Nikolai Sorokin writes: “If the Voice association of the notorious law on foreign agents accused the Ministry of Justice, then the prosecutor’s office of the city of Kostroma is opposed to us. Our organization threatens a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles, and its executive director Alexander Zamaryanov - up to 300 thousand. We want as many people as possible to learn the truth about the current provincial costroma. The city prosecutor’s office is no longer a lawsuit against our NPOs. The pursuit of the city prosecutor's office is now unfolding against us, but also against our colleagues from the Kostroma regional public organization “Committee of Soldiers' Mother”, which, under a far -fetched pretext, is trying to force to register as a foreign agent. Akhmetgaliev from the Association "Agora" will defend our position in court. "
