14 SEPTEMBER 2012 RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES VIOLATE ARTICLE 6 OF EUROPEAN CONVENTION

Lawyer Evgeny Arkhipov and activist from Moscow, airport Domodedovo, Moscow region

As Evgeny Arkhipov, a lawyer and a human right activist, said, the Russian authorities explicitly violate Article 6 of the European Convention that guarantees the right to a professional defense for every arrested person: the lawyer was denied from access to a Chinese Opposition Conference participant that was arrested by border control officers on September 13, 2012 in Domodedovo airport. Presently Alla Lavrinenko is still in the airport. Border control officers did not allow her to speak with the lawyer upon the pretext that the conference participant was arrested neither in an administrative proceeding, nor in a criminal one. According to the latest information, Alla Lavrinenko will be deported to the Ukraine this evening at 11.30 p.m. (according to Moscow time).
Lawyer Evgeny Arkhipov described the violation of Article 6 of the European Convention by the Russian authorities as the “arbitrary will and violation of all the international regulations and standards that guarantee the right to professional defense to any arrested person”.
Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights will monitor the situation.
