Persecution of Russian opposition member Aleksey Navalny
Persecution of Russian opposition member Aleksey Navalny

In one of many judgments concerning Mr Navalny, the European Court of Human Rights held that between 2012 and 2014 the Russian authorities had detained Mr Navalny following public gatherings.  The arrests had been politically motivated, whilst the detentions had been unlawful, arbitrary, and unjustified by any meaningful reason. They had also violated the right to free assembly, which was not properly protected under Russian law. The Russian authorities are yet to produce documentation to show how they intend to remedy these issues.
