rallies have been vetoed by russia's president dmitri medvedev and comes after they were approved by the country's state duma president medvedev says the amendments are unconstitutional and would have breached human rights to find out when i was joined by victor linnik a journalist and editor in chief but slow boat you say but hello to you so tell us a bit more about the law it's. cell phones and what are these amendments. amendments actually world prohibitive nature because for instance they prohibited a person resign or proceedings for breaking a law in the past from organizing new rallies new demonstrations number one number two is that it is stipulated time notification of the rallies should be extended whereas obviously this is again something that prohibits the a freedom of assembly in russia and this is and other. such things

so essentially they have been saying themselves were prohibited and constitutional as such ok sorry so you describe some of the amendments to the lord rallies itself but why do you think the country's main political party united russia was so keen to introduce these amendments. this is something that puzzles me somewhat because a lot of the amendments actually had been voted on by the duma only opened up tolbert twenty second there recently that is and how does normal procedure is negotiating between the legislature and the executive when certain laws. is passed and voted on in the duma as some some how i see the procedure the proses itself somebody failed in this regard that's why the president had to act ok so you see the process has failed to get in this regard as you say but tell me this that

the president's veto now put a definite end to these amendments. i think the president has a director of the constitution had to hack tomorrow appropriately and the says to to. defend the constitutional rights of the russian power. and that's what he did and i think it is a very wise move on his part some you know there can be drawbacks and short comings in the negotiating procedures and legislatures and yes we have elected president who is to oversee the procedures and that's why he acted i think a very good moral. life for us in moscow thank you. well for more on this and other stories just log on to our web site at www dot com right now you'll find many things and among them decades of rocketing men to the
