Moscow to Restrict Public Rallies
Sep. 04, 2007
Moscow authorities will impose restrictions on public rallies near historical and/or cultural sites of the city, PRIME-TASS reported. Holding public rallies close to historical and/or cultural sites in Moscow will be restricted. Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov has inked the ruling that sets forth actions to implement the law on the RF citizens’ rights to rallies, meetings, demonstrations, marches and pickets in the city.
Amid other things, the ruling spells out procedures for rallies staged near the sites of architecture and arts. The arrangers, for instance, will be liable for the safety of artifacts close to which a rally is held.
Having planned a public rally, the arrangers will first apply to the city's leadership for a sanction for it. The authorities may deny the request if the site is in condition of emergency or if such rallies threaten the health or safety of participants. Another reason for official denial is that the meeting will prevent other citizens from getting access to the cultural site. Photo: Dmitry Lekay
