A and Others v United Kingdom (Application No 3455/05)

European Court of Human Rights

“The European Court of Human Rights held the United Kingdom in breach of article 5.1 of the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of nonnational terrorist suspects, since they had not been detained with a view to deportation and the derogating measures permitting their indefinite detention discriminated unjustifiably between nationals and nonnationals.”
