The Committee of Ministers of Council of Europe has strictly criticized Russia for non-enforcement of the commitment into Case of Deported Persons and gave the last deadline for paying the compensation to the victims – Ministry of Justice reported.

 

The Russian Federation has to comply with the ruling made by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights on January 31, 2019, and pay 10,000,000 Euros to Georgia in respect of non-pecuniary damage suffered by the group of at least 1,500 Georgian nationals, who were the individual victims of human rights violations.

 

In 2006 Russia deported 153 citizens of Georgia as a wave of punitive measures against Georgian migrants and businesses grew, prompting criticism that the government is carrying out an ethnically-motivated campaign of harassment.
