Petersburg: SK will check the words of the deputy Milonov about the defender of the rights of sex workers

The Investigative Committee of Russia instructed the department of the department in St. Petersburg to verify the words of the State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov, who called the leader of the movement in defense of the Silver Rosa sex workers Irina Maslova "The organizer of the brothel". Maslova wrote about this on Facebook.

In the release of the program "Live" dedicated to sex workers, on October 25, 2019 they showed a fragment of recording with Irina Maslova. The release used a quote: "The provision of sexual services is not a crime, this is an offense. A crime is the way wrestlers with morality are trying to do with escort."

The deputy Vitaliy Milonov reacted to this: "This citizen just admitted that she is the organizer of the brothel and this kind of organization should be recognized as extremist because they are trying to legalize the criminal business. They are trying to fill our hell, which is comfortable for them."

Maslova considered that Milonov accused her of committing a crime and slandered her. She wrote a statement to the Investigative Committee of St. Petersburg.

"Russian legislation provides for a special procedure for initiating cases in relation to representatives of the State Duma, which means that the chairman of the Investigative Committee Bastrykin will decide on holding Milonov," explained the lawyer of the initiative group "Equality. Dignity. Pride "Maria Chashchilova, who represents the interests of Maslova.

Commenting on the situation, Milonov said that the decision would not be in Maslova’s favor.
