1. The Committee of
Ministers has carefully examined Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation 2202 (2021) “The arrest and detention of Alexei Navalny in January
2021”, in which the Assembly welcomed the prioritisation by the
Committee of Ministers of its supervision of the execution of the
judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Navalnyye v. Russia and invited
the Committee of Ministers to use all the tools at its disposal,
including those under Article 46 of the European Convention on Human
Rights (ETS No. 5), to ensure full and prompt execution of the judgment
and in particular the immediate release of Mr Navalny.
2. The Committee of Ministers has examined the case of Navalnyye v. Russia at each of its
quarterly Human Rights meetings since Mr Navalny was detained in
January 2021. At every examination it has called on the authorities
to release immediately Mr Aleksey Navalny.
3. At its last examination of the case at its 1428th Human
Rights meeting in March 2022, the Committee adopted an Interim Resolution
deciding, in the absence of progress, to consider the use of all
the tools at its disposal to ensure full and prompt execution of
the judgment and in particular the immediate release of Mr Navalny
and to resume the consideration of the case at its 1436th meeting
(June 2022) (DH).
