The Court of Appeal in Warsaw upheld a ruling awarding PLN 72,500 in compensation to a family of three wrongfully detained for 2.5 months in a guarded migrant centre. The courts found that the family should not have been detained, and their stay was unjustified as the authorities failed to promptly collect information for their refugee claim. The detention also ignored the best interest of the child, violating legal standards. The court highlighted the harsh conditions the migrants faced and the child’s inability to attend school. This ruling reinforces the absolute prohibition on detaining persons alleged to have experienced violence and the need for detailed planning in procedures involving migrants.
