The European Court of Human Rights ruled against Greece in a landmark immigration case involving a Syrian refugee, A.A., who was detained for over three years without a clear legal basis. The court found that Greece violated several articles of the European Convention on Human Rights, including the right to liberty and security, the right to a speedy judicial review of detention, and the prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment.

The court awarded him 8,000 euros for non-pecuniary damage and 7,000 euros for costs and expenses, highlighting systemic issues in Greece's handling of asylum seekers and urging for reforms in its immigration detention practices.
