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, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,<\/p>\n<p>Having deliberated in private on 6 October 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 Government\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 deficiencies in proceedings for review of the lawfulness of detention. In application no.\u00a031367\/20, the applicant also raised other complaints under the provisions 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 \u00a7 4of the Convention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6. The applicants complained principally of the deficiencies in proceedings for review of the lawfulness of detention.They relied, expressly or in substance, on Article 5 \u00a7 4 of the Convention, which reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Article 5 \u00a7 4<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings by which the lawfulness of his detention shall be decided speedily by a court and his release ordered if the detention is not lawful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. The Court reiterates that Article 5 \u00a7 4 of the Convention, in guaranteeing to detained persons a right to institute proceedings to challenge the lawfulness of their detention, also proclaims their right, following the institution of such proceedings, to a speedy judicial decision concerning the lawfulness of detention and the ordering of its termination if it proves unlawful (see Baranowski v. Poland, no. 28358\/95, \u00a7 68, ECHR 2000-III). Where an individual\u2019s personal liberty is at stake, the Court has very strict standards concerning the State\u2019s compliance with the requirement of speedy review of the lawfulness of detention (see, for example, Mamedova v. Russia, no.\u00a07064\/05, \u00a7 96, 1 June 2006, where the length of appeal proceedings lasting, inter alia, twenty-six days, was found to be in breach of the \u201cspeediness\u201d requirement of Article 5 \u00a7 4).<\/p>\n<p>8. In the leading case of Idalov v. Russia [GC], no. 5826\/03, \u00a7\u00a7\u00a0154\u201158, 22\u00a0May 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 appeal proceedings for the review of the lawfulness of the applicants\u2019 detention, as set out in the table appended below, cannot be considered compatible with the requirements set out in Article 5 \u00a7 4 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p>10. These complaints are therefore admissible and disclose a breach of Article\u00a05 \u00a7 4 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>III. REMAINING COMPLAINTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>11. In application no.\u00a031367\/20 the applicant also raised other complaints under various Articles of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p>12. The Court has examined the application and considers that, in the light of all the material in its possession and in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, these complaints either do not meet the admissibility criteria set out in Articles\u00a034 and\u00a035 of the Convention or do not disclose any appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Convention or the Protocols thereto.<\/p>\n<p>It follows that this part of the application must be rejected in accordance with Article\u00a035\u00a0\u00a7\u00a04 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IV. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE\u00a041 OF THE CONVENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>13. 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>14. Regard being had to the documents in its possession and to its case\u2011law (see, in particular, Oravec v. Croatia, no. 51249\/11, \u00a7\u00a7 78-80, 11\u00a0July 2017;Aybo\u011fa and Others v. Turkey, no. 35302\/08, \u00a7\u00a7 28-30, 21\u00a0June 2016;Doherty v. the United Kingdom, no. 76874\/11, \u00a7\u00a7 113-15, 18\u00a0February 2016;Albrechtas v. Lithuania, no. 1886\/06, \u00a7\u00a7 87-89, 19 January 2016; and Karaosmanoglu and \u00d6zden v. Turkey, no. 4807\/08, \u00a7\u00a7 89-91, 17 June 2014), the Court considers it reasonable to award the sums indicated in the appended table and rejects the remaining claims for just satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>15. 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 complaints concerning the deficiencies in proceedings for review of the lawfulness of detentionadmissible\u00a0and the remainder of the application no. 31367\/20 inadmissible;<\/p>\n<p>3. Holds that these complaints disclose a breach of Article 5 \u00a7 4 of the Convention concerning the deficiencies in proceedings for review of the lawfulness of detention;<\/p>\n<p>4. 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>5. Dismissesthe remainder of the applicants\u2019 claims for just satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Done in English, and notified in writing on 27 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\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\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 4 of the Convention<br \/>\n(deficiencies in proceedings for review of the lawfulness of detention)<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 110%;\" width=\"1086\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 7.10956%;\"><strong>No.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.8508%;\"><strong>Application no.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Date of introduction<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.7832%;\" width=\"150\"><strong>Applicant\u2019s name<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Year of birth<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.8508%;\" width=\"224\"><strong>First-instance court and date of detention order<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.2681%;\" width=\"214\"><strong>Appeal instance court and date of decision<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.6177%;\" width=\"152\"><strong>Procedural deficiencies<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 13.4033%;\" width=\"189\"><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 style=\"width: 7.10956%;\">1.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.8508%;\">9205\/18<\/p>\n<p>11\/01\/2018<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.7832%;\" width=\"150\"><strong>Dmitriy Robertovich BIKBULATOV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1968<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.8508%;\" width=\"224\">Supreme Court of the Tatarstan Republic, 05\/06\/2017;<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court of the Tatarstan Republic, 05\/09\/2017<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.2681%;\" width=\"214\">Appellate Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Tatarstan Republic, 14\/07\/2017;<\/p>\n<p>Appellate Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Tatarstan Republic, 13\/10\/2017<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.6177%;\" width=\"152\">lack of speediness of review of detention (<em>Idalov v.
