According to the court report, this case is related to the arrest of A. Navalnas and another plaintiff, Vadim Gunka, during a political action held in 2012 in Bolotnaya Square in Moscow. After that demonstration, the two were detained at the station for the night and were later taken to administrative responsibility.
The court ordered to pay V. Gunkai 7.5 thousand. compensation.
“One of the protesters, Alexei Navaln, said in particular that a police officer had used physical force against him during his arrest,” says the ECHR report.
The judges ruled that various provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, such as the prohibition of degrading treatment, as well as the right to liberty and security and a fair trial, had been violated against Navalno.
“The court found that Mr. Navaln had been treated degradingly based on a video of his arrest posted on the Internet,” the court said.
“The file shows that the measures taken by the police to turn Mr. Navaln’s hand and make him scream were not necessary to take him to the police station, since he did not resist in a notorious way,” the report adds.
