Russia Rejects European Human Rights Court’s Order to free Navalny:
Russia rejects the European human rights court’s order to free Navalny. The European Supreme Court of Human Rights has ordered Russia to release imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny who determined to isolate the most popular enemy of the Kremlin. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling posted on Mr. Navalny’s website on Wednesday and demands that. Russia immediately set him free and warns that failure would constitute a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Last month, while coming from Germany he was arrested. The allegation was dismissed by the Russian authorities. A Moscow court sentenced Mr. Navalny earlier this month to two years and eight months in prison for breaching the terms of his probation while he was recovering in Germany. The sentence stems from an embezzlement conviction in 2014. Mr. Navalny dismissed as fraudulent and deemed unlawful by the European Court. In its decision on Tuesday, the ECHR referred to Rule 39 of its rules and obliged the Russian Government to release Mr. Navalny.
The Tribunal found that Mr. Navalny denied the claim of the Russian Authorities:
However, the Tribunal found that Mr. Navalny denied the claim of the Russian authorities that appropriate steps had taken to protect his life and following the assault of the nerve agent. Moreover, the decision of the Court was to dismiss as a simple and crude intrusion in Russia’s legal structures by Russian Minister Konstantin Chuichenko. Mr. Chuichenko claimed in a statement by Russian news agencies that. This demand would be baseless and illegal because it does not contain a single fact or law that would allow the court to issue such a verdict. Since the individual not legally release under Russian law from custody.
Hence, the European judges have well aware of this reality and took a political decision. Similarly, that could only intensify a resumption of positive ties with the institutions of the Council of Europe in the history of Moscow. However, Moscow has never faced any demand by the European court to release the prisoner. Mr. Navalny has denied the charges against him in the pro-Kremlin film which portrayed the 94-year-old veteran and other people as ‘corrupt stooges.’
