• ECHR has notified its judgment in the case of Shevanova vs. Latvia

On 16 June, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has notified its judgment in the case of Shevanova vs. Latvia. The Court held that that the decision of Latvian Government to deport Shevanova from Latvia was a violation of her right to respect for private and family life, guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights Article 8. Nina Shevanova is a Russian citizen who lived in Latvia for 35 years. In 1991, Mrs Shevanova was registered in Latvia on the list of permanent residents. However, in 1998 the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs decided to cancel her entry in the residents’ list and issued a deportation order. In February 2001, Mrs Shevanova was arrested and placed in a detention centre for illegal immigrants pending her deportation. The ECHR awarded the applicant with EUR 5,000 for non-pecuniary damage and EUR 1,000 for costs and expenses.
