A native of Chechnya obtained compensation in court from the colony administration

The Fifth Court of Cassation in Pyatigorsk recognized the claim of the native of Chechnya, Mansur Rajaev, and awarded him compensation for violation of the conditions of detention in Colony 6 of the Khabarovsk Territory. In 2012, Rajaev was sentenced to life imprisonment, having recognized it as a member of the NWF, the members of which eliminated six soldiers of the Russian internal troops in Dagestan in September 1999.

In his complaint, Mansur Rajaev pointed to the failure of the colony administration to provide personal files, as well as to obstruction of the filing of a complaint with the ECHR. It considered these actions to be violations of the conditions of detention and requested compensation in the amount of 200 thousand rubles.

The Factory District Court of Grozny ordered the prison administration to acquaint the prisoner with the case file and pay compensation in the amount of 3 thousand rubles. This decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal. The Fifth Court of Cassation also upheld the ruling.
