Case No. 7265\/10
\nJudgment date: 8 November 2011
\n<\/strong>and
\nCase No. 12106\/09
\nJudgment date: 20 December 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

In both cases, the applicants\u00a0were Uzbek nationals facing expulsion\u00a0from Russia to Uzbekistan\u00a0where criminal proceedings\u00a0were underway, accusing them of\u00a0membership of banned extremist\u00a0organisations. Both applicants\u00a0alleged that they would be at risk\u00a0of torture and\/or ill-treatment in\u00a0Uzbek detention facilities, and\u00a0that therefore their deportation\u00a0would be in violation of Art. 3\u00a0(torture and\/or degrading or ill\u00a0treatment). Yakubov also averred\u00a0a violation of Art. 13 (effective\u00a0remedy). Ergashev additionally\u00a0complained that the conditions of\u00a0his detention in Russia amounted\u00a0to a breach of Art. 3. Furthermore,\u00a0he submitted complaints under \u00a0Art. 5 (deprivation of liberty), alleging\u00a0that his detention was unlawful\u00a0and under Art. 6 (right to a\u00a0fair trial) on the basis that news\u00a0broadcasts, relying on information\u00a0from state officials, had described\u00a0him as a terrorist and an\u00a0extremist, thereby breaching the\u00a0presumption of innocence.<\/p>\n
