The Basmanny District Court of Moscow fined the editorial office of Novaya Gazeta for 400 thousand rubles in part 4 of Article 18.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (illegal involvement of a foreign citizen in the labor activity). This was reported on the website of the publication

"We are talking about the publication of the articles of the author of Ali Feruz (the real name of the Vecherdi Nurmatov) in the" Novaya Gazeta ", who is accused of violating the rules of entry into Russia or the regime of stay in the country," the report said.

A citizen of Uzbekistan Feruz fled to Russia in 2009 due to persecution by the country's national security service. In Russia, he unsuccessfully tried to get political asylum.

On August 1, 2017, Feruz was detained in Moscow at the editorial office of Novaya. The police accused him of violating the regime of foreigners in Russia. On the same day, the judge of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow Arthur Karpov fined the journalist and decided to deport him to his homeland . Since then, Feruz has been contained in a special projector for migrants in the village of Sakharovo in New Moscow.

On the way to the specialist, the bailiffs who escorted Feruz beat him and hit him with an electric shock . They also called the journalist a "fagot" (Feruz - an open gay).

The ECHR, where Feruz filed a complaint, banned the deportation of a refugee before making a decision on it. On August 8, the judge of the Moscow City Court Olga Pankova suspended the execution of the decision of Karpov .

On October 20, the Basmanny District Court rejected Feruz’s claim against the Ministry of Internal Affairs , in which the journalist disputed the refusal to provide asylum.

On November 22, the judge of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow Elena Lenskaya fined Feruz for work without a patent and re -decided to deport him, but suspended the execution of the decision before consideration of the case in the ECHR. On November 30, the judge of the Moscow City Court Julia Prutulaconfirmed the decision of the fine .

On December 25, the ECHR communicated the complaint of Feruz . He ordered Russia until April 13, 2018 to answer the questions whether Article 3 (prohibition of torture) and 5 (the right to freedom and personal integrity) of the European Convention were violated in relation to the refugee.

On January 24, the judge of the Supreme Court Vladimir Merkulov partially satisfied the complaint of Feruz and the petition of the Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova. The judge canceled the decision to deport a journalist from Russia. Merkulov pointed out that the detention of a foreigner for expulsion from Russia cannot be stretched for an indefinite time if the issue cannot be resolved in a reasonable time.

The administrative case of Feruz is aimed at a new consideration in the Moscow City Court. The court is ordered to evaluate the letter of the German Embassy that Feruza has been drawn up by the travel document of the International Red Cross Committee to travel to this country. The meeting is scheduled for February 2.
