Date: 16 October 2008
The applicant, Igor Ivanovich Lobanov, is a Russian national who was born in 1965 and lives in Moscow. In October 1998, Mr Lobanov was convicted in Kazakhstan and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. In February 2000, following an agreement between the Russian and Kazakh authorities, the applicant was transferred to Russia. Upon request for supervisory review, a Kazakh court’s decision dated 16 March 2000 ordered Mr Lobanov’s immediate release. He was, however, only released on 10 July 2000.
Relying on Article 5 § 1 (right to liberty and security), the applicant complained of his detention in Russia after the Kazakh courts’ remission of his sentence. He also complained that his ensuing claim for compensation was dismissed, in breach of Article 5 § 5.
