Fair Trials is the global criminal justice watchdog, campaigning for fairness, equality and justice

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) should uphold core privacy and fair trial principles when considering prosecutions based on hacked communications that have been exchanged across borders. This is the core message of Fair Trials and the European Criminal Bar Association (ECBA) in their joint intervention in Raal & Reudolph v Estonia.

Members of Fair Trials’ Legal Experts Advisory Panel (LEAP) in Portugal have raised concerns about the implementation of Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings, particularly regarding the translation of key evidence relied upon by the prosecution.
