 The European Court of Human Rights made a decision against Turkey at Cigerhun Oner case.
Court decision says: “Having regard to the fact that Cigerhun Oner was 12 years old when he was placed in police custody and to the injuries recorded in the medical certificate three days after his release, the Court found that the treatment in question had attained the minimum level of severity to fall within the scope of Article 3.

The Court found it regrettable that the applicant (arrested merely for an identity check) had been held in police custody without it being registered in the custody log of the police station concerned and observed that he had not been seen by a doctor at the beginning and end of his period in police custody.

Under Article 41 (just satisfaction) of the Convention, the Court held that Turkey was to pay the applicant 30,000 euros (EUR) in respect of non-pecuniary damage and EUR 2,900 in respect of costs and expenses.”
