Residents of Bashkiria filed a lawsuit against the authorities in the Supreme Court for discrimination against the unvaccinated

It's worth reminding that in mid-June, the head of Bashkiria, Radiy Khabirov, signed a decree according to which, without a vaccination certificate, local residents will not be able to visit cafes and restaurants, beauty salons, fitness centers, museums, theaters and other public places. At the same time, there are not enough vaccines in the region to inoculate everyone. The leader of the Fair Russia party, Sergei Mironov, called the restrictions introduced in Bashkiria "bureaucratic tyranny" and "disrespect for the people." "With one stroke of his pen, he (Radiy Khabirov - editor's note) turned the majority of the population of the territory under his jurisdiction into pariahs", - the party leader said.

Residents of the region agree with Mironov and believe that local authorities violate their constitutional rights, which guarantee equality of human rights and freedoms and their observance, as well as the provision of the European Convention on Human Rights on the prohibition of discrimination. According to the plaintiffs, these measures "give some kind of indulgence to those who have the vaccine" and infringe on the rights of those "who, for various reasons, do not get vaccinated", - writes Kommersant.

Alexey Gavrishev, managing partner of the law firm AVG Legal, believes that the plaintiffs have little chance of winning this case, since even the European Court of Human Rights has recognized mandatory vaccination as legal.
