The Administration of the Altai colony officially apologized to Dadin
The IK-5 administration in Rubtsovsk, Altai Territory, officially apologized to Ildar Dadin in connection with its rehabilitation. The letter signed by the head of the colonel of Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Lamtyugin was published by the wife of the former political prisoner Anastasia Zotova.
The document notes that in connection with the abolition of the sentence due to the absence of a crime in Dadin’s actions, he has the right to rehabilitation. “We are official apologies on behalf of the Russian Federation,” IK -5 wrote.
Meanwhile, article 135 of the Code of Criminal Procedure says: "The prosecutor on behalf of the state makes an official apology to rehabilitated for the harm caused to him." Why the obligation to apologize was assigned to the FSIN employee is unknown.
Dadin became the first in Russia convicted under Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code (repeated violations at rallies). On December 7, 2015, the judge of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow Natalia Dudar sentenced Dadina to three years of general regime ( 
On February 10, a decision of the Constitutional Court was published with a request to revise the decisions in the Dadin case. In addition, the KS indicated that the verdict to imprisonment under Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code is possible only if the actions that are incriminated to the accused, "entailed the loss of a peaceful public event, causing significant harm to constitutionally protected values." The court ordered the State Duma to make appropriate adjustments to Article 212.1.
In connection with this decision, the defense of Dadin on February 13 filed a supervisory complaint about the verdict to the activist. On February 22, the Presidium of the Armed Forces decided to free Dadin . The activist is recognized as the right to rehabilitation. As the prosecutor Leonid Korzhinek stated at the hearing, two decisions on Dadin imputed by administrative articles at the time of the initiation of a criminal case did not enter into legal force, and therefore, the opening of the case was unlawful.
However, the leadership of the colony IK-5 refused to let go of the documents from the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. Dadin’s lawyers sent a complaint to the ECHR against the illegal retention of the activist in the colony. The Strasbourg court ordered Russia until February 27 to give an answer on this complaint. Dadin was released only on February 26 .
Given the time spent before the sentence under house arrest, Dadin was deprived of freedom for 2 years 1 month- from January 30, 2015 (not counting the time from January 15, 2015, when he was serving a 15-day arrest for the action in support of Alexei Navalny ; before the end of his arrest was detained to initiate a criminal case). In jail and colonies, after the sentence, Dadin spent almost 1 year 4 months.
