In 2005, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Turkey had violated articles 3, 5 and 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights by granting Öcalan no effective remedy to appeal his arrest and sentencing him to death without a fair trial.
Europski sud za ljudska prava je presudio da je Turska prekršila članke 3, 5 i 6 Europske konvencije o ljudskim pravima ne nudeći učinkoviti pravni lijek na žalbu i osuđujući ga bez poštenog suđenja.
