4.  The applicant was born in 1956 and lives in Ukhta in the Republic of Komi. 5.  In March 1995 the applicant was charged with murder and an obligation not to leave the place of her residence without permission was imposed on her as a preventive measure. During the subsequent criminal investigation she was detained on remand from 24 May 1995 to 29 May 1996. On the latter date an obligation not to leave the place of her residence without permission was again imposed on her. In January 1997 she was convicted of murder and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment. The sentence was considered to have been served in view of the applicant’s detention on remand. In June 1997, on appeal, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Komi found that the applicant had not committed the crime as she had acted in self-defence. It quashed the judgment and discontinued the criminal proceedings. 6.  On 28 January 2002 the applicant brought proceedings against the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, claiming non-pecuniary damages caused by her unlawful prosecution, detention and conviction. On 15 February 2002 the Ukhta Town Court held that the applicant was entitled to compensation on account of her unlawful prosecution, detention and conviction. It found, inter alia, that the applicant had never been prosecuted earlier, that she had a minor child at the time, that her deprivation of liberty had involved stress and sufferings, that her health had deteriorated as a result of her stay in the detention facility and that she had had no liberty of movement and freedom to choose her residence for a long time. It allowed her claim in part and awarded her 70,000 Russian roubles (RUR) for non‑pecuniary damage at the expense of the Federal Treasury. The parties appealed. On 28 March 2002 the Supreme Court of the Republic of Komi upheld the judgment which came into force on the same day. 7.  On 4 April 2002 the Town Court sent an execution writ to the applicant. On 22 April 2002 the applicant submitted it, together with supporting documents, to the Ukhta town department of the Federal Treasury of the Ministry of Finance. On 24 April 2002 the latter forwarded the documents to the Republic Komi department of the Federal Treasury of the Ministry of Finance which, in its turn, on 26 April 2002 forwarded the documents to the Ministry of Finance which received them on 7 May 2002. 8.  In December 2002 and in April 2003 the applicant complained about the non-enforcement of the judgment to the Minister of Finance and to other authorities. 9.  On 6 May 2003 the Federal Treasury transferred RUR 70,000 to the Republic Komi department of the Federal Treasury for the enforcement of the judgment. On 14 May 2003 the latter transferred RUR 70,000 to the applicant’s bank account. The amount was credited to the applicant’s account on 16 May 2003.
