European Court seeks clarification on the detention regime of Ridouan Taghi

The European Court of Human Rights has raised concerns regarding the detention conditions of Ridouan Taghi, who has been in solitary confinement for nearly seven years. Taghi has filed 21 complaints about his detention, prompting the Court to question whether his isolation violates Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court seeks clarification on Taghi's ability to communicate with other inmates and his family. His lawyer interprets the Court's inquiries as doubts about the legality of the Dutch government's decisions regarding Taghi's detention. The EBI's strict regime has intensified following Taghi's illicit communications with the outside world, leading to further restrictions on his contact with family and lawyers.
