Prisoners Lose Voting Rights Compensation Bid

A group of British prisoners have lost a compensation bid for being denied the right to vote.

However, the European Court of Human Rights said in its ruling that denying them the vote was a breach of their human rights.

Ten prisoners took the case to the ECHR after being denied the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament on June 4, 2009.

They asked for compensation or costs - which the court refused.

Explaining their decision that being denied a vote was a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the judges said the case was identical to another case brought by a UK prisoner when it was ruled that a ban was a breach.
