SummaryUnofficial

A citizen detained since September 2021 lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the order of the President of the Supreme Court refusing his habeas corpus application. The Court allowed the appeal and declared the decision unconstitutional for breach of the right to liberty, as his conviction was not final, a retrial having been required by Judgment No. 922/2024, and his pre-trial detention exceeded the 24-month legal limit.
