They were not allowed to speak to their dying son, the Szombathely prison was ordered to apologize and pay damages.

A father won a lawsuit against a prison for not being informed about his son's critical condition and being denied access to him in the hospital. The Győr Court of Appeal ordered the prison to apologize and pay 500,000 HUF in damages. His son, René, suffered severe injuries during a fight with a cellmate and later died. The father learned about his son's hospitalization from a friend, receiving misleading information from the prison. Despite attempts to visit, he was only allowed to see his son after he was already in deep sedation. The court ruled that the prison should have obtained information about the inmate's condition and that delays in visitation decisions were unacceptable. The father plans to donate the awarded damages to charity, emphasizing the need for accountability and learning from this incident.
