A court in St. Petersburg fined lawyer Ivan Pavlov - allegedly due to the lack of labeling of publications

The Frunzensky District Court of St. Petersburg imposed a fine of 10 thousand rubles on the former head of Team 29, lawyer Ivan Pavlov, under the article on violating the procedure for the activities of media “foreign agents” (Part 1 of Article 19.34.1 of the Administrative Code). This was reported by lawyer Pavel Chikov.

Presumably, the fine is related to the absence of the “foreign agent” tag in Pavlov’s publications.

The Ministry of Justice added lawyer Ivan Pavlov and four of his former colleagues from Team 29 to the register of media outlets as “foreign agents” in November 2021.

• On July 18, 2021, Team 29, led by Ivan Pavlov, announced its closure. “Team 29” specialized in protecting freedom of speech, led the case of Ivan Safronov and a number of other criminal cases of treason and espionage. The announcement of the cessation of activities was preceded by the blocking of the project website . The explanatory note from Roskomnadzor states that the project’s website contained certain materials from the organization Společnost Svobody Informace, registered in the Czech Republic and recognized as undesirable in Russia. “Team 29” denied the presence of materials from the Czech organization on the site.
• In September 2021, Ivan Pavlov left Russia due to pressure from the authorities and a previously opened criminal case against him. A month later hewas put on the wanted list .
