"I was a co-signatory of this joint resolution by the European Parliament and I welcome its adoption: in it we call on the Member States of the European Union to take urgent measures to guarantee respect for the fundamental rights of detainees, especially vulnerable persons, and ask the European Commission for a legislative proposal on persons deprived of their liberty and minimum standards for detention conditions. Indeed, detention conditions in the European Union are regularly condemned by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg. The latest condemnation came in a ruling on 20 January 2011, in which the ECtHR once again pointed the finger at French prison conditions for violation of Article 3 (the prohibition of the use of inhuman or degrading treatment). Europe’s prisons therefore suffer from many problems. Human rights are abused, there is a denial of dignity for detained persons and so on. Respect for human rights must not stop at the prison gates and we must remedy this shameful situation quickly."@en1
