The ECtHR addressed this case regarding the detention of a minor asylum seeker and found a violation of Articles 5.1, 3, and 13 ECHR. The Court held that the detention conditions were distressing and inadequate for the applicant’s age and his physical and mental health. Maltese authorities disregarded his vulnerability and specific needs, and they made him live detention periods that did not align with Article 5.1 and amounted to degrading and inhuman treatment. Finally, the Court highlighted that the applicant did not have access to an effective remedy, reminding that the remedy must be adequate, accessible, and rapid when the speediness is needed for the remedial action to be effective.
