The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal against the lower court's decision to uphold detention. The applicant argued that prolonged detention in overcrowded facilities violated Article 3 of the ECHR, while the state contended the measures were necessary for public safety. The Court rejected the claim, finding no sufficient evidence that the detention conditions reached the threshold of inhuman treatment required to justify release.
