RUSSIA (Applications nos. 26624/15 and 76 others - see appended list )             JUDGMENT   STRASBOURG 16 January 2020   This judgment is final but it may be subject to editorial revision. In the case of Alekseyev and Others v. Russia, The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Committee composed of:   Alena Poláčková, President,   Dmitry Dedov,   Gilberto Felici, judges, and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar, Having deliberated in private on 12 December 2019, Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on that date: PROCEDURE 1.     The case originated in applications against Russia lodged with the Court under Article   34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on the various dates indicated in the appended table. 2.     Notice of the applications was given to the Russian Government (“the Government”). THE FACTS 3.     The list of applicants and the relevant details of the applications are set out in the appended table. 4.     The applicants complained of the ban on holding lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) public assemblies imposed by the domestic authorities and of the discriminatory manner in which the latter treated their applications for holding these events. The applicants also raised other complaints under the provisions of the Convention. THE LAW JOINDER OF THE APPLICATIONS 5.     Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single judgment.   Alleged abuse of the right of individual application by mr alekseyev 6.     By letter of 21 January 2019 the Government informed the Court that after the delivery of the judgment in the case of Alekseyev and Others v. Russia (nos. 14988/09 and 50 others, 27 November 2018), Mr Alekseyev, frustrated by the rejection of his claims in respect of non-pecuniary damage, had published insulting comments about the Court and the judges who had adopted that judgment on his Instagram and VKontakte social networking accounts. The Government submitted that those comments had amounted to an abuse of the right of individual application. 7.     In the judgment Zhdanov and Others v. Russia (nos. 12200/08 and 2   others, §§ 82-86, 16 July 2019), the Court has already addressed the objection raised by the Government. In particular, the Court found that in reaction to the Court’s judgment in the case of Alekseyev and Others (cited above), the applicant, a well-known LGBT activist and a public figure whose social networking accounts have hundreds of followers, published on those accounts the virulently and personally offensive and threatening statements about the Court and its judges. Those statements clearly exceeded the limits of normal, civic and legitimate criticism. By publishing the impugned statements on social networking accounts accessible to all, Mr   Alekseyev sought to ensure the widest possible circulation of his accusations and insults and thereby provided evidence of his determination to harm and tarnish the image and reputation of the institution of the European Court of Human Rights and its members. The Court sent a letter to Mr   Alekseyev referring to all his pending applications, including those listed in the table appended below, and warning him that such statements might amount to an abuse of right of petition. Mr   Alekseyev did not however withdraw his statements and, despite the Court’s warning, published new offensive statements about it. 8.     The Court therefore found that by continuing to publish insults about the Court and its judges after the warning, the applicant has shown disrespect to the very institution to which he had applied for the protection of his rights. His conduct constituted “a vexing manifestation of irresponsibility and a frivolous attitude towards the Court”, amounting to contempt, and is therefore contrary to the purpose of the right of individual application, as provided for in Articles 34 and 35 of the Convention. It constituted an abuse of the right of application within the meaning of Article   35 § 3 (a) of the Convention (see Zhdanov and Others v. Russia, §   85, cited above). 9.     The Court follows the same line of arguments in respect of the present applications lodged by Mr Alekseyev, having concluded, as in the case of Zhdanov and Others v. Russia (cited above), that the statements published after the warning that explicitly mentioned the present applications can therefore be considered to be connected with them. 10.     It follows that the complaints lodged by Mr Alekseyev must be declared inadmissible as an abuse of the right of application, pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3   (a) and 4 of the Convention. This finding of inadmissibility, exclusive to Mr Alekseyev, does not prevent the Court from examining the merits of the case, and in particular of all applications listed in the appended table below in so far as brought by the other applicants.   ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLES   11 AND 14 OF THE CONVENTION 11.     The applicants complained principally of the ban on holding LGBT assemblies and of the discriminatory manner in which the national authorities had treated their applications for holding these events. They relied, expressly or in substance, on Articles   11 and   14 of the Convention. The relevant provisions read as follows: Article   11 “1.     Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests. 2.     No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. This Article shall not prevent the imposition of lawful restrictions on the exercise of these rights by members of the armed forces, of the police or of the administration of the State.” Article   14 “The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in [the] Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.” 12.     The Court refers to the principles established in its case-law regarding freedom of assembly (see Kudrevičius and Others v.   Lithuania [GC], no.   37553/05, ECHR 2015, with further references) and proportionality of interference with it (see Bączkowski and Others v.   Poland , no.   1543/06, §§   61-64, 3   May 2007). It also refers to its case-law concerning discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation (see Kozak v.   Poland , no.   13102/02, 2   March 2010). 13.     In the leading case of Alekseyev v. Russia, nos. 4916/07 and 2 others, 21 October 2010, the Court already found a violation in respect of issues similar to those in the present case. 14.     Having examined all the material submitted to it, the Court has not found any fact or argument capable of persuading it to reach a different conclusion as to the admissibility and merits of these complaints. Having regard to its case-law on the subject, the Court considers that in the instant case the ban on holding LGBT public assemblies imposed by the domestic authorities did not correspond to a pressing social need and was thus not necessary in a democratic society. The Court also finds that the applicants suffered unjustified discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation which was incompatible with the standards of the Convention. 15.     These complaints are therefore admissible and disclose a breach of Article   11 and of Article   14 in conjunction with Article   11 of the Convention. OTHER ALLEGED VIOLATIONS UNDER WELL-ESTABLISHED CASE-LAW 16.     The applicants also submitted complaints under Article 13 of the Convention. These complaints are not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article   35   §   3   (a) of the Convention, nor are they inadmissible on any other ground. Accordingly, they must be declared admissible. Having examined all the material before it, the Court concludes that they also disclose violations of the Convention in the light of its findings in Lashmankin and Others v. Russia , nos. 57818/09 and 14 others, §§ 342-61, 7 February 2017; Alekseyev and Others v. Russia , nos. 14988/09 and 50   others, §§ 19-22, 27 November 2018; and Kablis v.   Russia , nos.   48310/16 and 59663/17, §§ 64-72, 30 April 2019. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE   41 OF THE CONVENTION 17.     Article 41 of the Convention provides: “If the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party.” 18.     Having regard to the nature of the applicants’ complaints, the Court will follow the approach adopted in the case of Alekseyev and Others v. Russia (nos. 14988/09 and 50 others, §§ 29 and 32, 27 November 2018). It considers that the finding of a violation, triggering the respondent State’s obligation to take measures indicated in the judgment of Alekseyev and Others v. Russia (see §§ 24-28, cited above) under its domestic legal system, should be regarded as constituting the most appropriate means of redress. It therefore rejects the applicants’ claims for just satisfaction. FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT, UNANIMOUSLY, Decides to join the applications; Decides to declare application no. 26624/15 and the complaints lodged by Mr   Alekseyev in other applications listed in the appended table inadmissible as an abuse of the right of application; Declares the applications lodged by the remaining applicants admissible; Holds that these applications disclose a breach of Article   11 and of Article   14 in conjunction with Article   11 of the Convention; Holds that there has been a violation of Article 13 of the Convention as regards the other complaints raised under well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table); Holds that the finding of violations of Articles 11, 13 and 14 of the Convention constitutes in itself sufficient just satisfaction for the non-pecuniary damage sustained by the applicants.   Dismisses the applicants’ claims for just satisfaction. Done in English, and notified in writing on 16 January 2020, pursuant to Rule   77   §§   2 and   3 of the Rules of Court.   Liv Tigerstedt   Alena Poláčková Acting Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX List of applications raising complaints under Articles 11 and 14 of the Convention (discriminatory ban on holding LGBT public assemblies) No. Application no.
