  • Europe's top rights court said Tuesday that Russian authorities had thwarted freedom of expression by blocking several websites in recent years, including some run by critics of President Vladimir Putin. In four separate cases, the judges ruled unanimously that moves by the telecoms regulator Roskomnadzor "had amounted to interference with the applicants' right to impart information and the public's right to receive it." One of the cases was filed by Garry Kasparov, the former chess champion who has become one of Putin's most vocal critics. His opposition website www.kasparov.ru was blocked in March 2014 after prosecutors accused it of promoting "mass disorder or extremist speech," the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) said. Five other applicants alleged unfair or indiscriminate moves to shut down their sites, including "Daily Newspaper," a site critical of the government, and a website that explained how to bypass internet content filters. In each case, the court found, "the provisions of Russia's Information Act used to block the websites had produced excessive and arbitrary effects." It ordered Russia to pay each applicant 10,000 euros ($11,300) in damages. Kasparov had already won two cases against Russia at the ECHR in 2016, when judges condemned the government for unjustified arrests while attending opposition protests in 2007. maj/js/cdw
