ECHR Rules Russia Illegally Detained and Inhumanely Treated Alexei Navalny, Orders €26,000 Payout

The judgment carries limited practical force due to Russia's exit from the Council of Europe, with a record of non-compliance.

Zwei Jahre nach dem Tod des Kreml-Kritikers Alexej Nawalny in einem russischen Straflager hat der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte (EGMR) Russland wegen "rechtswidriger Inhaftierung" und "unmenschlicher Behandlung" verurteilt.

Overview

  • Judges in Strasbourg found Navalny was subjected to multiple forms of abuse in custody, with his health and dignity systematically disregarded.
  • The case, filed soon after his 2021 arrest, was pursued to judgment by his widow following his 2024 death in a remote Arctic penal colony.
  • Reported conditions included head shaving, constant camera surveillance, and sleep deprivation through nightly checks.
  • The court ordered Russia to pay €26,000 in compensation, though Moscow has a record of ignoring ECHR rulings.
  • Although expelled from the Council of Europe, Russia remains subject to ECHR decisions on cases lodged before its departure.
