Human Rights Court penalises Poland, again!

Poland 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.
