European Rights Court Rules in Favor of 1 of 3 Convicted Nemtsov Assassins

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled in favor of one of three applicants convicted in Russia over the 2015 assassination of politician Boris Nemtsov, the court said in a press release Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The applications of other two convicts were declared inadmissible because they had disclosed the friendly-settlement negotiations, according to the release.

"The Court declared, by a majority, the applications of Anzor Gubashev and Shadid Gubashev inadmissible because they had disclosed the friendly-settlement negotiations, which are confidential," the ruling reads.

Temirlan Eskerkhanov's application, the ECHR states, had no friendly-settlement negotiations, thus not an abuse of the right of individual application.

"The Court held, unanimously, that there had been: a violation of Article 3 with regard to the conditions of Mr. Eskerkhanov’s detention… and the conditions of his transport and detention in a convoy cell [as well as] a violation… concerning the lack of a speedy review of the grounds for Mr. Eskerkhanov’s detention," it stated.

The court named 6,000 euros (nearly $7,000) as a "just satisfaction."
