Dadin demanded compensation of 5 million rubles for illegal persecution
Activist Ildar Dadin appealed to the Railway City Court of the Moscow Region with a lawsuit for 5 million rubles, which he demands to pay him as compensation for illegal criminal prosecution. This was reported by Interfax with reference to lawyer Ksenia Kostromin.
"Ildar today filed a lawsuit against the reimbursement and harm caused by illegal prosecution, in which he asks to pay him 5 million rubles in compensation," Kostromina said.
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 IK-5 colony in Rubtsovsk, Altai Territory, refused to release the documents from the Armed Forces political prisoners before receiving the feldyger bunch. 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.
On April 14, it became known that the IK-5 administrationofficially apologized to Dadin in connection with its rehabilitation. “We are official apologies on behalf of the Russian Federation,” the letter, signed by the head of the colony of Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Lamtyugin, said. Meanwhile, in accordance with the Code of Criminal Procedure, an official apology to the rehabilitated for the harm caused to him should be brought to the prosecutor. Why the obligation to apologize was assigned to the FSIN employee is unknown.
