Slivenko v. Latvia (48321/99) was a case argued before the European Court of Human Rights and decided in 2003.
Ms. Tatjana Slivenko (Sļivenko) was born in the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1959 and at the age of one month she moved to Latvia together with her parents.
Her husband, N. Slivenko, born in 1952, was transferred to Latvia in 1977 to serve as a Soviet military officer.
After Latvia regained independence, the already retired N. Slivenko was ordered to leave the country as a former Soviet/Russian officer by the Citizenship and Migration Authority, referring to the Russian-Latvian treaty of 1994.
Judges Wildhaber, Ress, Bratza, Cabral Barreto, Greve and Maruste have filed dissenting opinions, considering that Article 8 wasn't violated.
