CASE OF U.N. v. RUSSIA (no. 14348/15)
What was at stake
Whether the applicant's removal to Kyrgyzstan would expose him to a real risk of treatment contrary to the prohibition of torture, and whether the domestic legal framework provided him with an effective remedy to challenge the lawfulness of his detention.
What the court decided
The Court found that Russia violated the prohibition of torture by exposing the applicant to a risk of ill‑treatment if extradited to Kyrgyzstan, and also violated his right to liberty by failing to afford him an effective judicial remedy to contest the lawfulness of his detention.
