According to reasoning published in Strasbourg on Tuesday, the court ruled that Navalny’s life was in “serious and immediate” and “under suspicious circumstances” danger. Therefore, Russia was obliged to conduct “real investigations”.
“In the Russian legal system, preliminary investigations cannot lead to the punishment of those responsible,” the statement said. The legal framework was not appropriate. Since the court had not received any documents about the investigation, it was unable to investigate it. In addition, Navalny was not granted victim status and was therefore unable to participate in the investigation.
The opponent of head of state Vladimir Putin received medical treatment at the Berlin Charité in 2020 after being poisoned, for which he blames the Kremlin. After recovering, he returned to Russia in January 2021, was arrested and later sentenced to nine years in prison for “fraud”.
A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Moscow in another case against Navalny. He faces an additional 35 years in prison on charges of “extremism”.
