Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the dismissal and non-prosecution decisions on the merits.
Decisão extraída
They lacked standing on the merits because any claims against police officers or the public hospital doctor were governed by cantonal public liability law, not civil claims under federal appeal standing rules.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that public-law compensation claims against cantonal or municipal agents are not 'civil claims' under Art. 81(1)(b)(5) LTF, and the appellants did not plausibly invoke inhuman or degrading treatment or other civil claims against the remaining witnesses.
