TIRANA, April 9 /ATA/ – Albania’s High Court is reviewing judicial practice how courts use pre-trial detention, which allows suspects to be held in jail before trial.
The session of the United Colleges began at 09:30 a.m. on Thursday at the initiative of Chief Justice Sokol Sadushi, launching a procedure to partially revise a 2011 unified practice on personal security measures.
According to a Court statement, the review seeks to ensure a more consistent judicial approach in line with constitutional and legal requirements, as well as the European Convention on Human Rights standards.
The move also marks the first time the High Court chair has exercised powers under Article 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code to initiate a partial revision of unified case law.
