Russia,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Committee composed of:<br \/>\nDarian Pavli, President,<br \/>\nAndreas Z\u00fcnd,<br \/>\nFr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Krenc, judges,<br \/>\nand Viktoriya Maradudina, ActingDeputy Section Registrar,<\/p>\n<p>Having deliberated in private on 15 September 2022,<\/p>\n<p>Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on that date:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROCEDURE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. The case originated in applications against Russia lodged with the Court under Article\u00a034 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (\u201cthe Convention\u201d) on the various dates indicated in the appended table.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Russian Government (\u201cthe\u00a0Government\u201d) were given notice of the applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3. The list of applicants and the relevant details of the applications are set out in the appended table.<\/p>\n<p>4. The applicants complained of the excessive length of their pre-trial detention.In application no.\u00a030733\/20 the applicant also raised other complaints under Article 5 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I. JOINDER OF THE APPLICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single judgment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>II. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 5\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 OF THE CONVENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6. The applicants complained principally that their pre-trial detention had been unreasonably long. They relied on Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention, which reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03<\/p>\n<p>\u201c3. Everyone arrested or detained in accordance with the provisions of paragraph\u00a01\u00a0(c) of this Article shall be &#8230; entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release pending trial. Release may be conditioned by guarantees to appear for trial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. The Court observes that the general principles regarding the right to trial within a reasonable time or to release pending trial, as guaranteed by Article\u00a05 \u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention, have been stated in a number of its previous judgments (see, among many other authorities, Kud\u0142a v.\u00a0Poland [GC], no.\u00a030210\/96, \u00a7 110, ECHR 2000\u2011XI, and McKay v. the United Kingdom [GC], no. 543\/03, \u00a7\u00a7 41-44, ECHR 2006\u2011X, with further references).<\/p>\n<p>8. In the leading case of Dirdizov v. Russia, no. 41461\/10, 27 November 2012, the Court already found a violation in respect of issues similar to those in the present case.<\/p>\n<p>9. Having examined all the material submitted to it, 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. Having regard to its case-law on the subject, the Court considers that in the instant case the length of the applicants\u2019 pre-trial detention was excessive.<\/p>\n<p>10. These complaints are therefore admissible and disclose a breach of Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>III. OTHER ALLEGED VIOLATIONS UNDER WELL-ESTABLISHED CASE-LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>11. In application no.\u00a030733\/20 the applicant submitted other complaints under Article 5 of 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\u00a035\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03\u00a0(a) of the Convention, nor are they inadmissible on any other ground. Accordingly, they must be declared admissible. 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 Idalov v. Russia [GC], no. 5826\/03, \u00a7\u00a7 154-58, 22 May 2012.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IV. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 41 OF THE CONVENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>12. Article 41 of the Convention provides:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>13. Regard being had to the documents in its possession and to its case\u2011law (see, in particular, Pastukhov and Yelagin v. Russia, no. 55299\/07, 19 December 2013), the Court considers it reasonable to award the sums indicated in the appended table.<\/p>\n<p>14. The Court further considers it appropriate that the default interest rate should be based on the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank, to which should be added three percentage points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT, UNANIMOUSLY,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Decides to join the applications;<\/p>\n<p>2. Declares the applications admissible;<\/p>\n<p>3. Holds that these applications disclose a breach of Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of pre-trial detention;<\/p>\n<p>4. Holds that there has been a violation of the Convention as regards the other complaints raised under well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table);<\/p>\n<p>5. Holds<\/p>\n<p>(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;<\/p>\n<p>(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.<\/p>\n<p>Done in English, and notified in writing on 13 October 2022, pursuant to Rule\u00a077\u00a0\u00a7\u00a7\u00a02 and\u00a03 of the Rules of Court.<\/p>\n<p>Viktoriya Maradudina\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Darian Pavli<br \/>\nActing Deputy Registrar\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President<\/p>\n<p>___________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>APPENDIX<\/strong><br \/>\nList of applications raising complaints under Article 5 \u00a7 3 of the Convention<br \/>\n(excessive length of pre-trial detention)<\/p>\n<table width=\"1205\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>No.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Application no.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date of introduction<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Applicant\u2019s name<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Year of birth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Representative\u2019s name and location<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Period of detention<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"140\"><strong>Court which issued detention order\/examined appeal<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"110\"><strong>Length of detention<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"218\"><strong>Specific defects<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Other complaints under well-established case-law<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Amount awarded for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and costs and expenses per applicant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(in euros)<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1.<\/td>\n<td>30733\/20<\/p>\n<p>30\/06\/2020<\/td>\n<td><strong>RinatFlaritovich NURISLAMOV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1982<\/td>\n<td>Irina Vladimirovna Khrunova<\/p>\n<p>Kazan<\/td>\n<td>18\/04\/2017 to<\/p>\n<p>13\/04\/2021<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">NaberezhnyyeChelny Town Court of the Tatarstan Republic;
