The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled on Nov. 21 that Russia had violated the rights of four asylum-seekers who were stranded in a transit zone of a Moscow airport for months.
The men — an Iraqi, a Palestinian, a Syrian and a Somali — were forced to stay in Sheremetyevo Airport’s noisy boarding area between 2015 and 2017 while awaiting a decision on their asylum applications.
