Following a claim laid by Prosecutor of Salekhard, Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous Region against OAO Uralsvyazinform, a telecommunications provider, the defendant was made to limit access provided to websites that contain information about the illegal tobacco and other smoking admixtures.

OAO Uralsvyazinform disagreed with the municipal court’s ruling and took the case to Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous Region Court.

The district court’s civil cases judicial division looked into both the cassation and the prosecutor’s arguments and supported the ruling pronounced by Salekhard court, finding it both legal and well grounded, so the defendant’s complaint was left unanswered.

This means the court’s ruling that OAO Uralsvyazinform must limit access to websites that contain information about the illegal tobacco and other smoking admixtures has come into force.
