Human Rights Court penalises Poland, again!
Leo, Czw, 2008-01-31 23:31 Kraj | EnglishPoland has been punished again by the European Court of Human Rights for breaching the European Convention of Human Rights. The Polish treasury has been ordered to pay over €11,000 to five plaintiffs who were kept in detention awaiting trial for ridiculously long periods. One of the accused facing a murder trial was detained without trial for 9 years.
Poland’s justice administration were accused of indolence by the Court during the proceedings.
According to the ruling everybody, no matter what their alleged crimes, has a right to freedom and being tried within a fair amount of time.
So Poland has done it again - losing hands down when it comes to breaking Human rights laws as interpreted by the EU Court of Justice.
