ECHR The applicant alleged that he had been subjected to ill-treatment in violation of Article 3 of the Convention and that the authorities had not carried out a prompt and effective investigation into that incident. Relying on Article 6-1 of the Convention, the applicant also complained that he had not had access to court because his criminal complaint against the reporters of the ‘Antena 1’ television channel had been dismissed. The applicant alleged a breach of Article 8 of the Convention because police officers had invited television reporters to take images of him handcuffed, covered in blood and with his clothes torn which were later broadcast to a large audience without his consent.
