Irregular migrants who the government had threatened to send back to Libya last year should seek redress before the Maltese justice system rather than go to Strasbourg, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.
An application 102 migrants had filed before the European Court claiming violation of their right not to be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment and their right to an effective remedy was declared inadmissible by seven European judges including Chief justice Emeritus Vincent De Gaetano.
