Case No. 67542\/01
\n<\/a>Judgment date: 15 May 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 2 February 2000, the applicant was\u00a0convicted of theft committed in 1998 and\u00a0sentenced to probation of an unspecified\u00a0duration. The sentence was not executed\u00a0on the basis of the Amnesty Act 2000. In\u00a01999, he was the subject of further criminal\u00a0proceedings for the theft of goods worth\u00a0around eight euros. The indictment was\u00a0delayed in reaching the applicant and he\u00a0missed the subsequent hearing. He refused\u00a0to attend the adjourned hearing unless the\u00a0summons was received by post.<\/p>\n

Consequently, he was remanded in\u00a0custody on 23 April 2000 and transferred to\u00a0a pre-trial detention facility until his release\u00a0on 26 September 2001. On 25 September\u00a02000, the charge was reduced and the\u00a0punishment relieved although he remained\u00a0in custody during a third investigation.\u00a0The Court dismissed his challenges\u00a0concerning the lawfulness of his detention.\u00a0He submitted that detention conditions,\u00a0conduct by officers and cellmates and\u00a0the unlawfulness and length of detention\u00a0amounted to violations of Arts. 3 (inhuman\u00a0and degrading treatment) and 5 (liberty and\u00a0security) of the ECHR.<\/p>\n
