Kernrechtsfrage
Whether extraordinary personal circumstances justified early conditional release at half-term under Art. 86(4) CP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Age, sentence length, reintegration difficulties, and intended relocation abroad were not extraordinary circumstances within the meaning of Art. 86(4) CP.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that early release at half-term is doubly exceptional and cannot be used to indirectly challenge a final sentence. The applicant’s age and health were ordinary for his situation, long detention is inherent in imprisonment, and plans to move abroad are common among foreign detainees.
