European Court of Human Rights. ECHR 2010/18 Case of Carabulea v. Romania, 13 July 2010, no. 45661/99 (Third section).

摘要

The applicant is the brother of the 27-year-old Gabriel Carabulea, who was arrested on 13 April 1996 and taken to a police station in Bucharest for questioning about a robbery. He was not examined by a doctor but, according to the Government, was in good health when placed in the police lock-up. His wife, who visited him the same day, corroborated that claim and stated that he did not complain of any ill-treatment. On 15 April, however, she noticed that he had difficulty walking. On 16 April, he was found to be in a generally altered state of health by the medical assistant at the police dispensary and, as a result, was taken to the Ministry of the Interior Hospital. The medical records there noted that he was in a state of shock, vomiting blood and in great pain upon arrival. He was then admitted later on in the afternoon to Jilava Penitentiary Hospital and, from there, was transferred on 17 April to intensive care in Fundeni Hospital. Interrogated on his arrival, he remained under constant police supervision at that hospital until his death on 3 May 1996.
