Appeal to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to take legal proceedings regarding the complaints of shareholders of OAO “Telekompaniya NTV” to protect their rights

April 4, 2001

The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation believes that the following provision of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, that human rights and freedoms determine the essence, content and application of the laws and activity of the legislative and the executive authorities and local government to be immovable and ensured by justice.

The situation connected to the abortive attempts of the shareholders of OAO “Telekompaniya NTV” not only to protect, but even to achieve examination [by court] of the cases on protection of their rights, raise concerns over the ability of the Russia’s judiciary system to perform its task – administer justice.

The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation hereby requests that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation as the supreme judiciary body, which controls the functioning of law courts, ensure the rights of the team of journalists of NTV and the shareholders of OAO “Telekompaniya NTV” to a legal defence in court.
