The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned France on Thursday for the conditions of detention in overcrowded prisons, without however making the "pilot judgment" urging it to act hoped for by the International Observatory of Prisons.
Seized by 32 prisoners from the prisons of Nice, Nîmes, Fresnes, Ducos (Martinique) and Nuutania (Polynesia), the ECHR recommends that the State "consider adopting general measures aimed at eliminating overcrowding and improving conditions of detention, "according to a press release issued by the Court.
