Garry Kasparov wins case against Russia in European Court of Human Rights
On Tuesday, chess master Garry Kasparov won a case against Russia at the European Court of Human Rights for unlawful arrest and violation of his right to attend a rally he missed as a result of his detention. The complaint by the former world champion and political activist dates back to 2007, when Russian authorities confiscated his ticket and passport and detained him at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow, thereby preventing him from attending an opposition rally in Samara. Kasparov did not request financial compensation.
