• Resumen

  • On 19 March 2014 the Judicial Collegium on administrative cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation made a resolution on an appeal complaint from JSC �News Agency Rosbalt�. The Supreme Court looked into warnings sent by Roskomnadzor (the federal media and telecommunications watchdog) on 12 and 25 July 2013 to the editorial office of the online news service Rosbalt. Roskomnadzor claimed that Rosbalt had abused media freedom by posting materials that contained obscene language. According to the media law, two warnings may lead to a demand by Roskomnadzor that the court annuls a media registration (see, e.g. IRIS 2009-8/28). It also reviewed the subsequent decision of the Moscow City Court to permanently annul Rosbalt�s certificate of registration (dated 31 October 2013).
