NEWS & TESTIMONY

2014

“In 2014, the European Court for Human Rights issued a judgment in the case of Kim v. Russia finding that the conditions in the Foreign Citizen Detention Centre in Saint Petersburg were inhuman and degrading and that the extended stay of foreign citizens in these centres violates the right to freedom and personal inviolability.”
