IN THE HEADING "IN BOOKMARKS" we talk about sites and online services - both useful and completely useless, but funny and amazing - which, in fact, should be added to your favorites or added to your RSS feed.
Human rights workout
The human rights organization Amnesty International, together with the Distance Learning Center HUMANA, launched a training project “Human Rights Workout”. It is an online simulator that allows you to learn about human rights in an interactive way - based on real cases considered by the European Court of Human Rights. Legal norms and events illustrating their non-compliance by the state will be told in an accessible language without complex legal structures - according to the project's methodologist, the simulator is designed for young people who are far from the legal and activist sphere.
Now on the site you can go through an introductory case on the right to freedom of peaceful assembly: the authors of the project propose to study the case "Lashmankin and Others v. Russia", in which the European Court combined 15 similar complaints from Russian citizens. All of them tried to organize a peaceful public meeting on the streets of their cities and towns - and were refused by the authorities. Those undergoing training are invited to visit the site of an activist who wants to hold a rally and talk to a bot-official.
The next case will be released in June, it will be based on the 2015 case “Identoba and Others v. Georgia” - from it the website visitors will learn about the obligations of states to protect freedom of assembly and the procedure for applying to the ECHR.
