The Deputy-Ombudsman proposed that the State pay compensation to a prisoner for
inappropriate treatment that violated his dignity. The prisoner had been made to stay
in an isolation cell naked and without a cover while under observation. Such conduct is
particularly reprehensible due to its duration, the fact that the prisoner was held naked
for five hours, and that the events took place under camera observation. Moreover, restraining and attaching the prisoner to the bars of the isolation cell by his arms and legs
was illegal.
Follow-up:
In July 2017, the State Treasury decided to pay the prisoner compensation of EUR
2,500 for the violation of basic rights and EUR 1,000 for pain and suffering and other
temporary disability.
