Editorial staff of the newspaper “Uralskaya Nedelya” has given them as evidence to court. They thought that the actions of a state official have been illegal ones. He should obviate obstacles, related to providing of information.In court, state officials asked to dismiss a suit; they have explained that these letters-requests of the editorial staff were signed by assistant of editor-in-chief, instead of chief editor, because representatives of health care system thought that these letters-requests have been anonymous ones.
