CEDO condamnă Elveția după ce doi vegani nu au primit hrană adecvată în detenție

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Swiss authorities violated the rights of two men denied a vegan diet while in state custody. This landmark decision recognizes veganism as a belief deserving protection under freedom of conscience. The court found that the Swiss authorities failed to respect the claimants' rights and did not provide an effective way to contest their dietary decisions. One claimant will receive €12,000 in damages, while the other will receive €14,000 for moral damages and legal costs. This ruling may influence practices in other Council of Europe member states regarding the rights of individuals in detention.
