Aleksei Mikheyev (Russian: Алексей Михеев) was falsely accused by Russian police, while his alleged victim was alive and well.[1] After surviving a torture, and reportedly confessing to the crime which he did not commit, he jumped out of a third-floor window to escape his tormentors. The fall resulted in a spinal cord injury that rendered Mikheyev a paraplegic.[2] His case was taken to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France and became notable as "the first serious victory in a case of torture" brought to the Court against Russian government.[3][4]
