Russia's Supreme Court rejected a journalist's claim, supported by the General Prosecutor's Office, that recent Ministry of Communications regulations illegally permit law-enforcement bodies to inspect mail without a court order. The Ministry argued, with the support of the Federal Security Service, that the regulations assume the need for a court order, but that if necessary the court's approval can be obtained after the fact. The reasons for the Supreme Court's rejection of the journalist's challenge will be set forth in a subsequent opinion.
