The European Court of Human Rights ordered Russia to pay 70 thousand euros to Georgian citizens who complained of deportation from the Russian territory in 2006. The decision is published on the website of the ECHR.

The ECHR decided in the Shioshvili and others against Russia. In the fall of 2006, Leo Shioshvili was deported when she was in the eighth month of pregnancy. In addition, she was accompanied by four minor children. The court concluded that during the deportation of Shioshvili, Article 3 (the ban on inhuman treatment of people) and 13 (the right to an effective means of legal protection) of the European Convention on Human Rights were violated, and a number of other violations were committed.

The ECHR decided to pay 30 thousand euros to the woman and her children as compensation for moral damage.

Nino Dzizawa complained about the circumstances of the deportation from Russia, during which her husband died. The court also discovered in this case signs of violation of Article 3 of the Convention, as well as Article 2 (right to life). By decision of the ECHR, Russia must pay the woman 40 thousand euros of compensation for moral damage and reimburse legal costs.

The ECHR was also examined by 19 people in the framework of the Berdzenishvili case and others against Russia. They also complained about the conditions of deportation in 2006. The ECHR agreed to oblige Russia to reimburse the plaintiffs by legal costs. The amount of compensation will determine the Strasbourg court later.

In the fall of 2006, Moscow introduced a set of sanctions against Georgia in response to the arrest by the authorities of this country of four GRU employees.
