ECHR ONCE MORE ADMITS CLIENT'S APPLICATION

The European Court of Human Rights admitted into consideration the statement submitted by Henadii Trukhanov, Mayor of Odessa, regarding violation of Art. 5 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms – "on the right to liberty and security" of a person (Trukhanov v. Ukraine).

The statement contains claims against illegal detention of the Client by law enforcement agencies, which took place on February 14, 2018 at Boryspil airport.

"We have repeatedly stressed out negative procedural effects of the illegal detention of Henadii Trukhanov and the fact of violation of national legislation and international obligations by law enforcement agencies. The relevant claim was admitted by the European Court of Human Rights on June 6, 2018. We believe that further just trial and the court ruling will make law enforcement agencies act only within the limits of lawful regulations and will make illegal detention, which is a negative national practice, impossible!" – says lawyer of Trukhanov, EQUITY partner, Oleksandr Lysak.

Previously, we have already mentioned that, according to the official statistics of the European Court of Human Rights, more than 90% of the applications considered by the Court are inadmissible, and, therefore, favorable court ruling is a victory both for the Client and the company associates.
