Execution of judgment – The case concerns the control of the applicant’s correspondence with the European Commission of Human Rights by prison authorities of the Netherlands Antilles between 1997 and 1998. The case also concerns interference with the applicant’s correspondence with his lawyer, who was a former inmate. The Court found that the complete ban that existed on correspondence with former fellow inmates could not be justified
Lastly, the case concerns the fact that the applicant had no effective remedy against the conditions in which he was detained or against the interference with his correspondence, since the authorities did not adequately implement the relevant judicial orders, as well as the urgent recommendations of the Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
