Zagadnienie prawne
Czy niewystarczające warunki detencji podczas transportu oraz inne uchybienia (np. umieszczanie w metalowych klatkach w salach sądowych, brak skutecznych środków odwoławczych, niewłaściwe leczenie medyczne, nadmierna długość aresztu tymczasowego, stały nadzór wideo, ograniczenia wizyt rodzinnych) naruszyły prawa skarżących wynikające z Konwencji, w szczególności art. 3?Ratio decidendi
Trybunał stwierdził naruszenie art. 3 Konwencji w związku z niewystarczającymi warunkami detencji podczas transportu, opierając się na swojej ugruntowanej linii orzeczniczej, w tym na zasadzie silnego domniemania naruszenia, gdy przestrzeń na osobę jest mniejsza niż 0.5 m². Dodatkowo, Trybunał uznał, że inne skargi, takie jak umieszczanie w metalowych klatkach w salach sądowych, brak skutecznych środków odwoławczych, niewłaściwe leczenie medyczne, nadmierna długość aresztu tymczasowego, stały nadzór wideo i ograniczenia wizyt rodzinnych, również stanowią naruszenia Konwencji, odwołując się do swojej ugruntowanej praktyki w tych kwestiach. Trybunał miał jurysdykcję, ponieważ fakty miały miejsce przed wystąpieniem Rosji z Konwencji.Stan faktyczny
Liczni skarżący, obywatele Rosji, złożyli skargi dotyczące niewystarczających warunków detencji podczas ich transportu, często w pociągach lub furgonetkach, gdzie doświadczali przeludnienia, braku świeżego powietrza, ograniczonego dostępu do toalety i wody pitnej, oraz innych uchybień. Niektórzy skarżący zgłosili również dodatkowe skargi, takie jak umieszczanie ich w metalowych klatkach w salach sądowych, brak skutecznych środków odwoławczych, niewłaściwe leczenie medyczne, nadmierna długość aresztu tymczasowego, stały nadzór wideo i ograniczenia wizyt rodzinnych. Fakty te miały miejsce przed 16 września 2022 r.Rozstrzygnięcie
Trybunał jednogłośnie:
- Łączy skargi.
- Stwierdza, że ma jurysdykcję do rozpatrywania tych skarg, ponieważ dotyczą one faktów, które miały miejsce przed 16 września 2022 r.
- Uznaje skargi za dopuszczalne.
- Stwierdza naruszenie art. 3 Konwencji w odniesieniu do niewystarczających warunków detencji podczas transportu.
- Stwierdza naruszenie Konwencji w odniesieniu do innych skarg podniesionych na podstawie ugruntowanej linii orzeczniczej Trybunału (szczegóły w załączonej tabeli) i uznaje, że nie ma potrzeby odrębnego rozpatrywania pozostałych skarg dotyczących braku skutecznych krajowych środków odwoławczych w związku z użyciem metalowych klatek i innych środków bezpieczeństwa w salach sądowych na podstawie art. 13 Konwencji.
- Zasądza od pozwanego państwa na rzecz skarżących, w ciągu trzech miesięcy, kwoty wskazane w załączonej tabeli, do przeliczenia na walutę państwa pozwanego po kursie obowiązującym w dniu rozliczenia, wraz z odsetkami.Pełny tekst orzeczenia
THIRD SECTION
CASE OF VAKULENKO AND OTHERS v. RUSSIA
(Applications nos. 38875/20 and 45 others –
see appended list)
JUDGMENT
STRASBOURG
7 November 2024
This judgment is final but it may be subject to editorial revision.
In the case of Vakulenko and Others v. Russia,
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Committee composed of:
Ioannis Ktistakis, President,
Oddný Mjöll Arnardóttir,
Diana Kovatcheva, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having deliberated in private on 10 October 2024,
Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on that date:
PROCEDURE
1. The case originated in applications against Russia lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on the various dates indicated in the appended table.
2. The Russian Government (“the Government”) were given notice of the applications.
THE FACTS
3. The list of applicants and the relevant details of the applications are set out in the appended table.
4. The applicants complained of the inadequate conditions of detention during their transport. Some applicants also raised other complaints under the provisions of the Convention.
THE LAW
JOINDER OF THE APPLICATIONS
5. Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single judgment.
Jurisdiction
6. The Court observes that the facts giving rise to the alleged violations of the Convention occurred prior to 16 September 2022, the date on which the Russian Federation ceased to be a party to the Convention. The Court therefore decides that it has jurisdiction to examine the present applications (see Fedotova and Others v. Russia [GC], nos. 40792/10 and 2 others, §§ 68‑73, 17 January 2023).
ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 3 OF THE CONVENTION
7. The applicants complained principally of the inadequate conditions of detention during their transport. They relied on Article 3 of the Convention.
8. The Court notes that the applicants were detained in poor conditions during transport. The details of the applicants’ detention are indicated in the appended table. The Court refers to the principles established in its case‑law regarding cramped and defective conditions during the transit of prisoners (see Tomov and Others v. Russia, nos. 18255/10 and 5 others, §§ 124-27, 9 April 2019). It reiterates, in particular, that a strong presumption of a violation arises when detainees are transported in conveyances offering less than 0.5 square metres of space per person, regardless of whether such cramped conditions result from an excessive number of detainees being transported together or from the restrictive design of compartments (ibid., § 125). As regards longer journeys, factors such as a failure to arrange an individual sleeping place for each detainee or to secure an adequate supply of drinking water and food or access to the toilet seriously aggravate the situation of prisoners during transfers and are indicative of a violation of Article 3 (ibid., § 127).
9. In the leading cases of Idalov v. Russia [GC], no. 5826/03, §§ 103-08, 22 May 2012, and Tomov and Others (cited above), the Court already found a violation in respect of issues similar to those in the present case.
10. Having examined all the material submitted to it, the Court has not found any fact or argument capable of persuading it to reach a different conclusion on the admissibility and merits of these complaints. Having regard to its case-law on the subject, the Court considers that in the instant case the applicants’ conditions of detention during their transport were inadequate.
11. These complaints are therefore admissible and disclose a breach of Article 3 of the Convention.
OTHER ALLEGED VIOLATIONS UNDER WELL-ESTABLISHED CASE-LAW
12. Some applicants submitted other complaints which also raised issues under the Convention, given the relevant well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table). These complaints are not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 (a) of the Convention, nor are they inadmissible on any other ground. Accordingly, they must be declared admissible. Having examined all the material before it, the Court concludes that they also disclose violations of the Convention in the light of its well‑established case-law (see Svinarenko and Slyadnev v. Russia [GC], nos. 32541/08 and 43441/08, §§ 113-39, ECHR 2014 (extracts), concerning placement in a metal cage in a courtroom during criminal proceedings; Tomov and Others, cited above, §§ 92-156, concerning the lack of an effective remedy in respect of the complaint about inadequate conditions of transports of detainees; Reshetnyak v. Russia, no. 56027/10, §§ 54-90, 8 January 2013, related to inadequate medical treatment in detention and the lack of an effective remedy in that respect; Idalov, cited above, §§ 139‑49 and 154-58, concerning excessive length and delayed review of pre-trial detention; Gorlov and Others v. Russia, nos. 27057/06 and 2 others, 2 July 2019, concerning permanent video surveillance of detainees and the lack of an effective remedy in that respect; Andrey Smirnov v. Russia, no. 43149/10, §§ 35-57, 13 February 2018, and Resin v. Russia, no. 9348/14, §§ 39-41, 18 December 2018, as regards restrictions on family visits in detention facilities).
13. In view of the above findings, the Court considers that there is no need to deal separately with the complaints lodged by some of the applicants under Article 13 of the Convention in respect of their placement in a metal cage in the courtroom (compare Valyuzhenich v. Russia, no. 10597/13, § 27, 26 March 2019).
APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 41 OF THE CONVENTION
14. Regard being had to the documents in its possession and to its case‑law (see, in particular, Pukhachev and Zaretskiy v. Russia, nos. 17494/16 and 29203/16, 16 November 2017), the Court considers it reasonable to award the sums indicated in the appended table.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT, UNANIMOUSLY,
Decides to join the applications;
Holds that it has jurisdiction to deal with these applications as they relate to facts that took place before 16 September 2022;
Declares the applications admissible;
Holds that these applications disclose a breach of Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention during transport;
Holds that there has been a violation of the Convention as regards the other complaints raised under well-established case-law of the Court (see the appended table) and finds that there is no need to examine separately the remaining complaints about the lack of effective domestic remedies to complain about the use of metal cages and other security arrangements in the courtrooms under Article 13 of the Convention;
Holds
(a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicants, within three months, the amounts indicated in the appended table, to be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable at the date of settlement;
(b) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amounts at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default during the default period plus three percentage points.
Done in English, and notified in writing on 7 November 2024, pursuant to Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.
