Question juridique clé
Whether half-sentence conditional release under Art. 86(4) SCC was justified by extraordinary personal circumstances.
Solution extraite
No. Transsexualism and the difficulties of treatment in detention did not amount to extraordinary personal circumstances warranting early conditional release.
Motifs extraits
The court held that Art. 86(4) SCC is an exceptional provision to be applied very restrictively. The applicant had shown no particularly meritorious conduct, his condition did not constitute a grave illness or an inhumanly severe burden, and treatment difficulties had to be addressed through execution arrangements, not release. New factual allegations about isolation were inadmissible.
