That's crazy, because we have the same right green arrow on red here in Romania but I'd go to jail were I to, God forbid, hit the pedestrians crossing the street on "their" green. If there are pedestrians on the crosswalk, you're turning right and you haven't stopped for them, chances are you'll get your license taken by the police (if the police happens to be in the area). I agree that the pedestrians should double-check in these sorts of situations, because the cemetery is full with people who have had the law on their side, but, nevertheless, it's primarily the drivers' responsibility to respect the law.
