By virtue of Article 96 § 2 of the RSFSR Code of Criminal Procedure, in force at the time [the applicant] was detained, suspects and accused persons could be placed in temporary detention units... for no longer than ten days within a given month. The ten-day time-limit for detention in the temporary detention unit was breached twice...

All witnesses confirmed that [the applicant] had not had an individual sleeping place and that there had been insufficient heating in winter in the cells. The witnesses disputed [the applicant's] allegation that he had not been provided with a mattress and pillow; [the witnesses] explained that he had always been provided with a mattress and pillow and had had his own blanket.
...
Accordingly, the court concludes that [the applicant's] right to be detained in the temporary detention unit in accordance with the established rules and regulations was breached and that he sustained physical and mental suffering.
