On March 26, 2019, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in Berdzenishvili and Others v. Russia that Russia must compensate Georgian citizens in amounts ranging from EUR 2,000 to EUR 15,000 for violations of their human rights due to the administrative practice of arrest, detention, and expulsion in October 2006. In its judgment on the merits from March 2017, nineteen applicants brought charges against Russia after authorities instituted identity checks on Georgian nationals, arrested and detained them, and gave orders for their administrative expulsion from Russia. As noted in the press release, the Court delayed a decision on just satisfaction until the Grand Chamber released its ruling in Georgia v. Russia (I) related to similar circumstances concerning a large number of other Georgian applicants in which it awarded the applicants EUR 10 million to be divided among the victims.
