Feeling for the phrase about marijuana

The Internet publication LENTACHEL.ru has been trying to “fight back” from the absurd claims of Roskomnadzor for the second year.

Judge of the judicial section No. 7 of the Sovetsky District of the city of Chelyabinsk Tamara Chuchaykina found the editor-in-chief of the Internet portal Lentachel.ru German Galkina in “Propaganda or illegal advertising of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their precursors containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, or their parts containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their psychotropic substances or them precursors, as well as new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances ”(Article 6.13 of Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). In this regard, a fine of 40,000 rubles was imposed on him as an official.

In an interview with Roskomvoboda, the chief editor LENTACHEL.ru said that the reason for the excitation of the “administrative” on the protocol of Roskomnadzor was a phrase that question the harm from mild drugs, and there is also an example of the experience of decriminalizing marijuana in the USA and some countries of Europe and Asia. The article itself speaks of the influence of alcoholism on the number of crimes in Russia and even the idea of the introduction of a “dry law” in our country is voiced.

The theme of the decriminalization of mild drugs is still debatable not only in the Russian Federation, but also in many other countries of the world, but the ban on its discussion, which is the verdict of the Chelyabinsk court against LENTACHEL.ru, is nothing more than censorship. Moreover, as Galkin says, the authorities here demonstrate the application of double standards in relation to different publications. In the court debate, as evidence of such a discussion with the participation of popular publications, Galkin cited as an example of the publication from Kommersant, Lenta.ru , the Secret of the Company , but this did not affect the decision of Judge Chuchaykina, who imposed a large fine on the leadout.

“Our defender is the arguments that in the conclusions of the so -called An expert (psychologist with military education) refers to the promotion of legalization, decriminalization (which is actually not prohibited by law), and he does not speak of drug promotion, did not take action, the editorial of the Lentachel, who had passed the Lentache,shares . - Representatives of Roskomnadzor, for their part, suggested that the Code of Administrative Offenses was not talking about use, but simply about drug promotion. That is, it still turns out that drug decriminalization cannot be discussed? But what about the right of citizens to govern the state? I recalled: citizens of Russia, and even more so journalists have the right to discuss existing laws, including in the direction of softening, censorship in the Russian Federation under the constitution is prohibited, and the freedom of information, on the contrary, is guaranteed. ”

Ahead, according to Herman Galkin, another court of legal entity, and there are much more fines. He himself suspects that someone was trying to simply close his media-last year Roskomnadzor made his claims to the publication three times, but Lentachel was able to “fight back, because either the violations were recognized as insignificant and the court was limited to comments, or RKN himself responded his protocols.”

In the comments on the post on Facebook, colleagues of Galkin confirm the dubious import of the Russian supervisory authority, which simply prevents the independent media. Moreover, according to them, the state does not want to intervene in the work of the RKN, whose actions are opaque and generally act more destructively on the network.

Recall that in June last year, this publication already wanted to hold accountable for the “direct” reprint of the news from the prosecutor’s website without indicating that the “right sector” is prohibited in the Russian Federation.

The Soviet District Court (appeal) upheld the decision of the justice of the peace on a fine of 40,000 rubles to the chief editor of the publication German Galkin. He just informed Roskomvobod about this: “From the RKN there was a new representative, pressed as a prosecutor. He carried outright nonsense. Including about the fact that Roskomnadzor does not have money to order an examination, therefore, at the discretion of the court, they allegedly left the issue of first instance. ”

At the previous meeting, the justice of the peace attracted a person with a higher military education by an expert, a candidate of psychological sciences from the main control department who does not have a higher philological education, but there is an audited course “Study of Review products”. At the same time, the judge is dry A.A. I had to explain to the representative of the supervisory authority that they did not need to pay any money if they simply contact the Ministry of Justice.

After Galkin noticed that federal media openly write about the “forbidden” topic, the representative of the RKN said that the editor-in-chief has no right to say anything about the [Roskomnadzor] properties of marijuana.

As a result, the Sukhikh judge nevertheless took the side of the RKN. “Despite the conclusion of the specialist we have attracted with the status of a forensic expert - a candidate of philological sciences, [where it is said] that there is no drug propaganda in the article,” Glavred Lentachel notes.

At the moment, German Galkin intends to appeal to the Union of Russian Journalists.
