As the Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights said, the recommendations of the European Commission to ban Russians from importing personal belongings when visiting EU countries are discriminatory, violate human rights and freedoms, and are a gross violation of the European Convention.
According to human rights activists, an attempt to create additional obstacles in the form of confiscation of personal items such as mobile phones, laptops, personal hygiene products, etc. is another step against human freedoms. Human rights activists also note serious pressure on countries that do not prohibit Russians from crossing the border and are a transit point for travel to EU countries: for example, Georgia is under pressure to restore air traffic with Russia, despite the fact that European officials do not take into account how many Georgians live in Russia and how much the restoration of communications has simplified communication between families and renewed connections between people that were interrupted many years ago.
Specialists from the Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights recommend that Russians, both in Russia and abroad, apply to the Court of the European Union and appeal against recommendations and other acts of the European Commission aimed at restricting their rights and freedoms.
Also, human rights activists from the Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights emphasized that, for their part, they are ready to assist in the preparation of documents if there are applicants - Russian citizens who believe that their rights and freedoms are violated by decisions of the European Commission.
