97.1n the instant case, the Court established that the Respondent State has violated the
Applicants' right to a fair trial relating to their right to be informed of their right legal
representation and right to free legal assistance contrary to Article 7 (1) (c) of the
Charter as read together with Article 14 (3) (d) of the ICCPR. Without minimizing the
seriousness of these violation, it is the Court's opinion that the nature of the violations
in the particular contexts of this case does not reveal any circumstance which would
make their continued imprisonment a miscarriage of justice or arbitrary. Nor have the
Applicants demonstrated the existence of other specific or compelling reasons to
warrant an order for release.
9S.Accordingly, the Court rejects the Applicant's request to be released from prison
