The ECHR upheld the complaint, ordering to pay the applicant compensation for non-pecuniary damage in the amount of 35 thousand euros and another 2 thousand euros for reimbursement of legal costs.
T. Zeynalov worked at the Nakhchivan airport. He was arrested in 2011 on charges of espionage for Iran. He died in jail - according to the authorities, from cancer. However, relatives released a photo of the corpse, which showed numerous traces of torture.
