Key legal question
Whether the appellate court's factual findings on violence against officials were arbitrary and violated the confrontation right under Art. 6(3)(d) ECHR.
Extracted holding
The challenge failed: the appellant did not show arbitrary fact-finding, and the confrontation right was respected because he could question witnesses at the appellate hearing.
Extracted reasoning
The Supreme Court held that the complaint was largely appellatory and insufficiently reasoned for a finding of arbitrariness. The lower court had carefully assessed the testimony, and the appellant could have confronted the witnesses in the later proceedings.
