The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned France on Thursday for the living conditions "not compatible with respect for human dignity" of the harkis in the reception camps where they spent years after their return of Algeria in the 1960s and 1970s.

The ECHR considers that France violated the ban on subjecting its nationals to inhuman or degrading treatment of the applicants, and their right to respect for private life and correspondence. In this respect, it considers that the amounts of compensation awarded by the French domestic courts were insufficient.
