Peers v Greece: ECHR 19 Apr 2001

Hudoc Judgment (Merits and just satisfaction) Violation of Art. 3; No violation of Art. 6-2; Violation of Art. 8; Non-pecuniary damage – financial award
The question whether the purpose of the treatment was to humiliate or debase the victim is a factor further to be taken into account, but the absence of any such purpose cannot conclusively rule out a violation of Article 3. Conditions of detention may sometimes amount to inhuman or degrading treatment.
