FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 10297/23
Abdeelhadi Abbas MAKKI
against Denmark
lodged on 21 February 2023
communicated on 16 March 2023
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the applicant’s confinement from 5 June 2016 at 9.30 a.m. to 16 June 2016 at 8.18 p.m. to a restraint bed in a psychiatric hospital. The applicant appealed against the confinement to the Psychiatric Patients’ Complaints Board, which found for him. Relying on Article 3 of the Convention, the applicant brought compensation proceedings before the courts. By a final judgment of 26 October 2022 the Supreme Court found the confinement lawful and rejected the applicant’s claim for compensation.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Was the confinement of the applicant to a restraint bed from 5 June 2016 at 9.30 a.m. to 16 June 2016 at 8.18 p.m. in breach of Article 3 of the Convention (see, inter alia, Aggerholm v. Denmark, no. 45439/18, 15 September 2020)?
