Case of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, or ''Carlos'' v. France [26/01/2005]
The Court notified on 28 January its judgment in the case of Ramirez Sanchez v. France. It found that there had been no violation of Article 3 (prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment) but that there had been a violation of Article 13 (right to an effective remedy). The Court did not consider that the applicant's prolonged detention in solitary confinement, from 15 August 1994 to 17 October 2002, had violated Article 3 but there had been a violation of Article 13 of the Convention because of the absence in French law of a remedy to enable him to contest his solitary confinement.
