Summary:
The applicant alleges that he was arbitrarily arrested and detained by state agents in Togo and subjected to ill-treatment while in custody. He contends that the arrest lacked lawful basis and that he was denied fundamental procedural guarantees, including prompt judicial oversight and access to legal representation.
According to the application, the treatment suffered during detention violated his dignity and physical integrity, and the authorities failed to conduct an effective investigation into the alleged abuse.
The case argues that the Republic of Togo violated its obligations to protect the right to liberty and security of the person, prohibit ill-treatment, uphold fair trial guarantees, and ensure an effective remedy. The applicant seeks declarations of violation, reparations, and guarantees of non-repetition.
