R.R. and others v Hungary (application no. 36037/17)
Comments:
The case concerned the applicants’ confinement in the Röszke transit zone on the border with Serbia
in April-August 2017.
The Court found, in particular, that the lack of food provided to R.R. and the conditions of stay of the
other applicants (a pregnant woman and children) had led to a violation of Article 3. It also found
that that the applicants’ stay in the transit zone had amounted to a de facto deprivation of liberty
and that the absence of any formal decision of the authorities and any proceedings by which the
lawfulness of their detention could have been decided speedily by a court had led to violations of
Article 5.
