FIRST SECTION
Application no. 15769/25
Pasquale PITITTO
against Italy
lodged on 16 May 2025
communicated on 2 October 2025
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the alleged incompatibility of the applicant’s state of health with his continued detention and the medical care provided to him in prison from 29 September 2023 and ongoing.
The applicant, relying on previous statements by court-appointed experts and on prior court orders finding that his state of health was incompatible with detention, complains of the impossibility of undergoing the required intensive and continuous physiotherapy while in prison. He invokes Article 3 of the Convention.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Has there been a breach of the applicant’s rights under Article 3 of the Convention (see Rooman v. Belgium [GC], no. 18052/11, §§ 144‑48, 31 January 2019)? In particular, has the applicant been receiving adequate medical treatment during his detention in prison, with particular regard to physiotherapy (see Helhal v. France, no. 10401/12, § 57, 19 February 2015)?
The Government are invited to submit a copy of the applicant’s prison medical register (diario clinico) along with a typewritten version for the period of detention from 2023 until present.
