The European Court of Human Rights has communicated the complaint of a US citizen, human rights activist Jennifer Gaspar about the inviolability of family life violated by the Russian authorities, writes . Kommersant
Her residence permit was canceled on the basis of a certificate from the FSB, which stated that she "advocated the forcible change of the foundations of the constitutional order." At the same time, officials did not give detailed explanations to Mrs. Gaspard. The Russian authorities have already transmitted their objections to her complaint. In a letter from the Russian Commissioner to the ECtHR, Deputy Minister of Justice Georgy Matyushkin, it is reported that “the balance between national security and the inviolability of the applicant’s family life” was observed by the Russian courts.
Before leaving Russia, Jennifer Gaspard lived in St. Petersburg with her husband, a well-known human rights lawyer Ivan Pavlov.
