ECHR partially upholds appeal by Uva's family members

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 9 - The European Court of Human Rights has partially accepted the appeal filed by the family of Giuseppe Uva, a 43-year-old man from Varese whose death in 2008 was at the centre of a judicial case that saw two carabinieri and six police officers charged and then acquitted at all three levels of the trial.
    Two reasons were accepted that led the ECHR to assign the file to an internal section: Uva was allegedly subjected to inhuman and degrading mistreatment in violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and the Italian State did not do enough to ascertain the facts. (ANSA).
