In 2000 Russia excluded Patrick Francis Nolan from reentry to Russia, holding him captive at the airport overnight based on FSB material on countering non-traditional religions. The visa was repeatedly canceled on reentry without an explanation, which separated him from his son, who stayed in Russia, for almost one year. [[European Court of Human Rights]] (ECHR) in 2009 in the case ''Nolan and K. v. Russia'' stated, that Russia failed to comply with or violated Articles 38§1a, 9, 8, 5§1, 5§5 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 7 of the [[European Convention on Human Rights|Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms]] (Convention) and decided that Russia should pay a sum of 7.810 € for damages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=HUDOC – European Court of Human Rights |url=https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#%7B%22tabview%22:%5B%22document%22%5D,%22itemid%22:%5B%22001-91302%22%5D%7D |access-date=April 6, 2024 |website=hudoc.echr.coe.int}}</ref>

In 2005–2006 Russia forcibly expelled John Alphonsus Corley and Shuji Igarashi and separated them from their families staying in Russia. Mr. Igarashi was held in detention for 3 days in inhuman conditions. Newspaper [[Rossiyskaya Gazeta]] published an article "ComMoonism has come to the Urals" explaining the reason as "State campaign against the Unification Church." ECHR in 2022 in the case ''Corley and Others v. Russia'' stated, that Russia violated Articles 1, 2, 9, 8, 3, and 5 of the Convention and decided that Russia should pay a sum of 30.270 € for damages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=HUDOC – European Court of Human Rights |url=https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/fre#%7B%22itemid%22:%5B%22001-213717%22%5D%7D |access-date=April 6, 2024 |website=hudoc.echr.coe.int}}</ref>
