Yesterday, January 20, 2021, the Arkhangelsk Regional Court overturned the decision to block the website of the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance in Russia.
The official press release notes that the exchange was represented in court by Digital Rights Center, represented by partners Mikhail Bautin and Mikhail Tretyak. In the near future, the site will be removed from the Unified Register of Prohibited Internet Resources.
The reason for the cancellation of the decision was the violation of the procedural code during the initial blocking – the exchange was not notified of the trial, and the decision became known only after receiving notification of the blocking of the site by Roskomnadzor.
“As representatives of Binance, we have done a great job to get the decision to lift the block. Lawyers of Digital Rights Center reinstated the missed appeal deadline and appealed the decision of the Mirny City Court, in which they proved to the prosecutors and the court the illegality of the earlier blocking decision. As a result, the prosecutor’s office was forced to abandon its claims in the appeal, ”Mikhail Bautin emphasized.
The Digital Rights Center partner also noted that illegal blocking of cryptocurrency-related resources often occurs in Russia and the firm plans to continue to fight such cases.
Recall that the site of the Binance exchange in Russia was blocked in September 2020 by the decision of the Mirny City Court of the Arkhangelsk Region, which was rendered by Judge M.M. Okhotina. June 2, 2020 at the suit of the prosecutor of the ZATO city of Mirny. In addition to the Binance website, the site of the Matbea.com cryptocurrency exchange platform was also blocked.
