CASE OF L.M. AND OTHERS v. RUSSIA (no. 40081/14)
What was at stake
Whether the applicants' expulsion to Syria would expose them to a real risk of treatment contrary to the right to life and the prohibition of torture.
What the court decided
The Court held that expelling the applicants to Syria would violate their rights under Article 2 (right to life) and Article 3 (prohibition of torture) if carried out, and also that their detention and procedural rights under Article 5 (right to liberty and security) and their right of individual petition under Article 34 were breached. It awarded non‑pecuniary damages and ordered Russia to take individual measures to remedy the violations.
