Court Denies Declassification of Information on Accidents Aboard Soviet Nuclear Submarines
Today the Presnya District Court in Moscow denied the approval of a complaint by Bellona. The complaint was submitted after the refusal by the Russian Ministry of Defense to declassify information about accidents that had taken place on Soviet nuclear submarines.
Bellona has not yet received the full decision of the court establishing the courts position. As soon as the full document is obtained, Bellona will seek an appeal to the decision in a higher court.
So far we see no legal basis for todays court decision, stated Bellonas defense lawyer, Ivan Pavlov.
In accordance to Article 7 of the law On state secrets, information is not to be made classified regarding emergencies and catastrophes threatening the security and health of citizens or their consequences, regarding natural disasters, their official prognosis and effects, or regarding the condition of the environment.
