The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), after finding the absence of any efficient inquiry into the murder of Natalia Estemirova, has awarded her sister compensation for moral harm in the amount of 20,000 euros. Human rights defenders have expressed regret that the ECtHR failed to recognize Russia responsible for Estemirova's death.
