Russia was condemned by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for violation of Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 regarding the Right to Education from the European Convention of Human Rights.<\/p>\n

The case was carried between Catan and others vs. the Republic of Moldova and Russia. It implies complaints coming from parents and children living in Moldova’s secessionist region of Transnistria related to the effects of the language policy adopted in 1992 and 1994 by the self-established region. They prohibited the use of the Latin alphabet in schools, as well as appealed to forcible eviction of teachers and students from Latin-script schools.<\/p>\n

As ECHR informs, the applicants are 170 citizens of Moldova who reside in Transnistria.<\/p>\n

“They all complain that their schools were closed down in 2002 and 2004 and forced to reopen in different, inadequate premises lacking materials and often requiring a long journey to and from school,” ECHR reported in a press release.<\/p>\n

After today’s hearing, the ECHR said that Russia interfered with the people’s right to education in Moldova’s separatist region of Transnistria.<\/p>\n

“The Court considered that the forced closure of the applicants’ schools and the subsequent measures of harassment constituted interferences with their right of access to pre-existing educational institutions as well as their right to be educated in their national language. There was no evidence to suggest that those measures pursued a legitimate aim,” the report of the Court said.<\/p>\n

As a result of the judgment, Russia has to pay 6,000 Euro to each applicant in respect of non-pecuniary damage and 50,000 Euro for the expenses of all the applicants, jointly.<\/p>\n

“Today’s decision is a historic one considering the results achieved and their outcome on human rights in the region,” Executive Director of Chisinau-based “Promo-Lex” Association Ion Manole said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
