European Court of Human Rights: Detainees Have Right to Strict Vegan Diets
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), sitting in Strasbourg, has delivered a ruling recognizing the right of detainees to a strictly vegan diet. Two men won their case before the Court after they failed to receive purely vegan meals during their detention—one in prison, the other in a psychiatric institution. Several details of the case, including the state involved and the exact date of the ruling, remain unavailable.
