FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 26804/18
Henrik ROSTÁS
against Hungary
lodged on 28 May 2018
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the applicant’s conviction, on 3 October 2014, for attempted murder and other offences. He was sentenced to actual life imprisonment, meaning that his mandatory pardon proceedings can first take place after having served forty years of imprisonment. The applicant was born in 1987.
QUESTION tO THE PARTIES
Has the applicant been deprived of any real prospect of release and thus potentially subjected to inhuman punishment, in breach of Article 3 of the Convention, in view of the fact that he will not be eligible for the mandatory pardon proceedings before having served forty years of imprisonment (see T.P. and A.T. v. Hungary, nos. 37871/14 and 73986/14, 4 October 2016)?
