Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of family prison leave violated personal liberty, privacy, family life, or the ECHR
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal was constitutional because prisoners have no entitlement to leave and the restriction was justified by flight risk and prison-security concerns.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that detainees must tolerate restrictions exceeding what is needed for detention purposes only if the measure is unnecessary or arbitrary. Here, the applicant remained able to maintain contact through regular visits, and the authorities could rely on the serious drug offences and pending expulsion to assess a heightened flight risk.
