FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 26804/18 Henrik ROSTÁS against Hungary lodged on 28 May 2018

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the applicant ’ s conviction, on 3 October 2014, for attempted murder and other offences. He was sentenced to actual life imprisonment, meaning that his mandatory pardon proceedings can first take place after having served forty years of imprisonment. The applicant was born in 1987.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

Has the applicant been deprived of any real prospect of release and thus potentially subjected to inhuman punishment, in breach of Article 3 of the Convention, in view of the fact that he will not be eligible for the mandatory pardon proceedings before having served forty years of imprisonment (see T.P. and A.T. v. Hungary , nos. 37871/14 and 73986/14, 4 October 2016)?
