CONCURRING OPINION OF JUDGE CABRAL BARRETO

In my opinion, once the applicant had been convicted and sentenced by the Assize Court to various terms of imprisonment for several offences, including that of three years and four months for membership of an illegal organisation, which decision was upheld on cassation, the only period to be taken into account for the violation of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention ran from his arrest until his conviction at first instance - a period of three and a half years .
