Breaches:
The European Court of Human Rights sentences Spain to pay damages to the 15 applicants, victims of mistreatment during the arrests of the Garzón Operation. Victims had been arrested and tortured during the raids against the independence movement in the summer of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, ordered by Baltasar Garzón, then judge of the Central Investigating Court no. 5 of the National High Court, for alleged membership of Terra Lliure. Garzón declined to investigate the tortures. Now, the ECHR sentences Spain for not investigating the mistreatments during the arrest in a exhaustive and effective way.
