Upon arrival in France after his arrest in Belgium, he was detained on April 27 under the scheme without any real legal basis until the Justice Minister, Jean-Jacques Urvoas, June 9 takes an order extending the use of CCTV in prison profiles as Abdeslam, and applies it to the latter from 17 June for a period of three months renewable.
later, the national Assembly voted on 20 July a legal basis for surveillance by taking most of the arrested elements, which for lawyers proved that the order was legally insufficient
-. “contradictory procedure” –
“this is now the law that legally allows the measurement of which the person is the subject,” replied the judges.
“We reached a breaking point. We can not live 100% under the supervision of + Big Brother ‘, “argued the lawyer of Abdeslam to the State Council, Claire Waquet, who suspects the ministry will renew the device” every three months during four years until his trial. “
” I am a witness, and has visited ten times, that Salah Abdeslam not support this video, “explained his other lawyer, Frank Berton. “I want him to talk and talk but I think for now, he made a vow of silence,” he notes linking his attitude “this video he does not want.”
on the infringement of the right to respect for private life, the judges ruled that “the exceptional nature of terrorist acts for which the applicant has continued and continuing attacks in France meant that all precautions are taken to prevent suicide and escape. “

the judges noted that the new law governing the device provides an adversarial procedure, a regular review of the measure together with a medical examination and a device protecting the privacy of the person ( opaque panels at the toilet and shower conceal his lower body).
Finally, the judges ruled that the “attacks” that would have been carried in the press, privacy Abdeslam through observations by CCTV does not call into question “the legality of the system itself”.
