}}Mikheyev v. Russia was a 2006 court case involving Alexey Mikheyev and the Russian Federation. The case became notable as "the first serious victory in a case of torture" brought to the European Court of Human Rights against Russian government.[1][2] The case was brought forward by Russian NGO Committee Against Torture.[3]

Case

Mikheyev (himself a traffic police officer) was falsely accused of murder (his alleged victim later turned out to be alive and well) and tortured in police custody in order to extract a confession to the alleged crime.[4] The abuse included administering electric shocks to Mikheyev's earlobes - the torture called "a phone call to Putin" by the torturers ({{lang-ru|звонок Путину}}).[2][4][5][6] After surviving the torture, Mikheyev jumped out of a third-floor window to escape his tormentors; the fall resulted in a spinal cord injury that rendered him a paraplegic.[7]

Judgment

In the 2006 ruling, the European Court held unanimously that there had been:

  • a violation of Article 3 (prohibition of torture) of the European Convention on Human Rights concerning the treatment inflicted on the applicant while in police custody;
  • a violation of Article 3 concerning the failure to conduct an effective investigation into the applicant’s fall from a police station window on 19 September 1998;
  • a violation of Article 13 (right to an effective remedy).

Mikheyev was thus awarded 250,000 Euro in damages.

According to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, torture with electric shocks is common in Russia.[8][9][10][11][12]
