Lawyer Daria Korolenko - on the appeal of the UN specialist about the case of lawyer Alexei Kalugin
What happened?
The lawyers of the ATS-Info sent appeals to five UN specialist: for freedom of assembly, the position of human rights activists, the independence of judges and lawyers, international solidarity and torture. The lawyers described the Case Kalugin, explaining how this is due to freedom of meeting, and also talked about the dangerous tendency of the nonsense of lawyers and the application of violence to them. Special Republics are already carefully studying the sent appeals.
Now lawyers are preparing one more, more general, appeal throughout the situation with the inadmissions and detention of lawyers in Russia - to a separate specialist for independence of lawyers and judges.
Have you sent appeals before?
Only from the beginning of the war, the lawyers of the OTD-Info sent seven appeals. Lawyers send individual appeals less often - more often common in situation and data. In the case of individual appeals, requests to the authorities are sent for a specific case. In the case of common - according to more detailed information, statistics and so on.
What can special -folders do?
They may require the state detailed information on the incident and other situations related to it, and then make recommendations. The last such case was after last year's winter protests - then thanks to the request it was possible to find out the real number of detainees for the first time.
