FIFTH SECTION

CASE OF ORLOVSKIY AND OTHERS v. RUSSIA

(Applications nos. 74186/17 and 25 others –

see appended list)

JUDGMENT

STRASBOURG

12 September 2024

This judgment is final but it may be subject to editorial revision.

In the case of Orlovskiy and Others v. Russia,

The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting as a Committee composed of:

María Elósegui, President,
Kateřina Šimáčková,
Stéphane Pisani, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having deliberated in private on 11 July 2024,

Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on that date:

PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in applications against Russia lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on the various dates indicated in the appended table.

2. The Russian Government (“the Government”) were given notice of the applications.

THE FACTS

3. The list of applicants and the relevant details of the applications are set out in the appended table.

4. The applicants complained of the lack of impartiality of the tribunal in view of the absence of the prosecuting party in administrative-offence proceedings. Some applicants also raised other complaints under the provisions of the Convention.

THE LAW

JOINDER OF THE APPLICATIONS

5. Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single judgment.

Jurisdiction

6. The Court observes that the facts giving rise to the alleged violations of the Convention occurred prior to 16 September 2022, the date on which the Russian Federation ceased to be a party to the Convention. The Court therefore decides that it has jurisdiction to examine the present applications (see Fedotova and Others v. Russia [GC], nos. 40792/10 and 2 others, §§ 68‑73, 17 January 2023, and Pivkina and Others v. Russia (dec.), nos. 2134/23 and 6 others, §§ 71-81, 6 June 2023).

Ms Navalnaya’s standing

7. The Court has taken note of Ms Yulia Navalnaya’s wish to pursue the complaints lodged by her late husband, Mr A. Navalnyy (application no. 6836/20), and recognises her standing for that purpose (see López Ribalda and Others v. Spain [GC], nos. 1874/13 and 8567/13, §§ 72‑73, 17 October 2019).

ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 6 § 1 of the Convention

8. The applicants complained of the lack of impartiality of the tribunal in view of the absence of the prosecuting party in administrative-offence proceedings. They relied, expressly or in substance, on Article 6 § 1 of the Convention.

9. In the leading case of Karelin v. Russia, no. 926/08, 20 September 2016, the Court already found a violation in respect of issues similar to those in the present case. Having examined all the material submitted to it, and having taken into account the issue of compliance with the six-month time‑limit under Article 35 § 1 of the Convention (see Saakashvili v. Georgia (dec.), nos. 6232/20 and 22394/20, §§ 46-59, 1 March 2022), the Court has not found any fact or argument capable of persuading it to reach a different conclusion on the admissibility and merits of these complaints.

10. These complaints are therefore admissible and disclose a breach of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention.

OTHER ALLEGED VIOLATIONS UNDER WELL-ESTABLISHED CASE-LAW

11. Some applicants submitted other complaints which also raised issues under the Convention, given the relevant well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table). These complaints are not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 (a) of the Convention, nor are they inadmissible on any other ground. Accordingly, they must be declared admissible.

12. Having examined all the material before it, the Court concludes that they also disclose violations of the Convention in the light of its findings in Butkevich v. Russia, no. 5865/07, §§ 63-65, 13 February 2018, Tsvetkova and Others v. Russia, nos. 54381/08 and 5 others, §§ 115-31, 10 April 2018, and Korneyeva v. Russia, no. 72051/17, §§ 34-36, 8 October 2019, as to various aspects of unlawful deprivation of liberty; Elvira Dmitriyeva v. Russia, nos. 60921/17 and 7202/18, §§ 77-90, 30 April 2019, as to administrative conviction for making calls to participate in public assemblies; Frumkin v. Russia, no. 74568/12, §§ 93-142, ECHR 2016 (extracts), as to disproportionate measures in respect of participants and organisers of public events; mutatis mutandis, Taranenko v. Russia, no. 19554/05, § 88, 15 May 2014, Mesut Yıldız and Others v. Turkey, no. 8157/10, § 34, 18 July 2017, Kemal Çetin v. Turkey, no. 3704/13, §§ 47-48, 26 May 2020, İmrek v. Turkey, no. 45975/12, §§ 35-38, 10 November 2020, Genov and Sarbinska v. Bulgaria, no. 52358/15, §§ 74-84, 30 November 2021, and Laurijsen and Others v. the Netherlands, nos. 56896/17 and 4 others, §§ 58 and 65-66, 21 November 2023, as to the lack of relevant and sufficient reasons for civil liability for damage caused during peaceful protests; RID Novaya Gazeta and ZAO Novaya Gazeta v. Russia, no. 44561/11, §§ 101-13, 11 May 2021, Karatayev v. Russia [Committee], no. 56109/07, §§ 21-27, 13 July 2021; and OOO Memo v. Russia, no. 2840/10, §§ 35-50, 15 March 2022, as to various interferences with the right to freedom of expression and the lack of relevant and sufficient reasons for those interferences.

REMAINING COMPLAINTS

13. Some applicants raised further additional complaints. In view of the findings in the paragraphs above, the Court considers that there is no need to deal separately with these remaining complaints.

APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 41 OF THE CONVENTION

14. Regard being had to the documents in its possession and to its case‑law (see, in particular, Kuratov and Others v. Russia [Committee], nos. 24377/15 and 2 others, 22 October 2019), the Court considers it reasonable to award the sums indicated in the appended table.

FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT, UNANIMOUSLY,

Decides to join the applications;
Holds that it has jurisdiction to deal with these applications as they relate to facts that took place before 16 September 2022;
Holds that Ms Yulia Navalnaya has standing to continue the present proceedings in her late husband’s stead in application no. 6836/20;
Declares the complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and the other complaints under the well-established case-law of the Court, as set out in the appended table, admissible, and finds that there is no need to examine separately the remaining complaints;
Holds that these applications disclose a breach of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the lack of impartiality of the tribunal in view of the absence of the prosecuting party in administrative-offence proceedings;
Holds that there has been a violation of the Convention as regards the other complaints raised under the well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table);
Holds

(a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicants, within three months, the amounts indicated in the appended table, to be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable at the date of settlement;

(b) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amounts at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.

Done in English, and notified in writing on 12 September 2024, pursuant to Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.
