On May 5, the European Court of Human Rights passed judgment in the case Arratibel Garciandia v. Spain, ruling that Spain violated Article 3 of the Convention by not having adequately investigated complaints of torture and abuse which the plaintiff claims to have suffered while in being held incommunicado.
