Ildar Ildusowitsch Dadin ( Russian Ильдар Ильдусович Дадин , Tatar Илдар Илдус-улы Дадин * 14. April 1982 ) is a Russian activist who for individual protests, including vigils against the war in Ukraine ins, prison camp arrived.

Life

Ildar Dadin worked as a security guard in the town of Schelesnodorozhny until 2010 . He has been a political activist since 2011 and has repeatedly participated in anti-government protests and demonstrations for LGBT rights.

Condemnation

On December 7, 2015, Dadin was sentenced to three years in prison. With the three years, the court went beyond the prosecutor's request of two years. The applied Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code was introduced in July 2014 and, depending on the interpretation, also prohibits completely peaceful protest; each additional person joining an individual demonstrating is sufficient, with a single provocateur sufficient for an arrest and administrative penalty. Imprisonment is possible after two such administrative actions within 180 days. Dadin was stopped on August 6, August 23, September 13 and December 5, 2014.

Dadin was the first person to be sentenced to imprisonment under the controversial article. In his defense, Dadin had simply argued that the court should follow the Russian constitution . The reasoning that the law is unconstitutional also refers to the fact that it was punished several times for an offense.

Reactions

Amnesty International requested the release of political prisoner Dadin and an investigation into his detention after Dadin mentioned incidents of torture against him and others in a letter smuggled out of prison to his wife. The Russian human rights organization Memorial lists Dadin as one of over 100 political prisoners in Russia. At public pressure with a support campaign "Where's Ildar Dadin?" After the smuggling of the letter and Dadin's relocation to Siberia, his whereabouts were only known after around 40 days.

In November 2016, the European Parliament passed a resolution condemning Daddin's detention and mistreatment and calling for his immediate and unconditional release.

The German government’s human rights commissioner expressed concern about the verdict against Ildar Dadin, as he sees it as an undermining of the right to freedom of expression and assembly guaranteed by the Russian constitution.

Lawsuit and Rehabilitation

A lawsuit against the article on which the camp detention was based was brought against it for unconstitutionality, whereas state representatives even called for a tightening, since "mass actions represented the greatest danger to public Russia". On February 10, 2017, the Constitutional Court upheld Dadin's lawsuit, surprisingly ordered a review of the verdict and recommended a revision of the paragraph. This is because the underlying article of criminal law is not itself unconstitutional, but "permits unconstitutional interpretations". On February 22, 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that Dadin was not guilty of any crime. On February 26th, Dadin was released after being detained for 15 months. For fear of a further revision, his wife tried to persuade him to leave Russia. An exit ban was imposed on Dadin.

New arrests

At the beginning of March 2017 and also at the beginning of April 2017, Dadin was arrested during a vigil.

Award

In 2017 he received the Boris Nemtsov Prize of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom .
