According to the Strasbourg court's decision, the authorities must pay compensation of €1,125 each to Ahmedov and Amirov, and €2,025 each to Yusubov and Hasanov. It should be noted that Ahmedov and Hasanov are currently imprisoned on other charges.

The government must pay €2,850 each to Javid Ibrahimov, Suleyman Maharramov, Nijat Abdullayev, Bakhtiyar Yusubov, and Baba Suleymanov.
