The ECHR awarded compensation to a former police officer from Dagestan who exposed corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled to pay 7,500 euros to a former police colonel from Dagestan, Salikh Gadzhiev. The ECHR found a violation of his right to freedom of expression.

In 2013, Salikh Gadzhiev was fired after he spoke out about corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs system. We are talking about his speech at a round table organized by the Memorial human rights center, where he gave an interview to several media outlets. He was soon suspended, and after his speech, the Dagestan Ministry of Internal Affairs initiated an internal investigation into Gadzhiev. His public activities were recognized as a gross violation of service discipline.

Gadzhiev appealed his dismissal, but Russian courts at all levels refused to satisfy his complaints. On November 14, 2014, Gadzhiev and lawyers from the Memorial Human Rights Center filed a complaint with the ECHR.
