The European Court Delivers Judgment In The Case Of The 'Hooded Men'

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - MARCH 20: Liam Shannon (R) and Francis McGuigan (L), two of the 'Hooded Men' give their reaction to the European Court of Human Rights' decision in their case at a press conference on March 20, 2018 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The ECHR rejected a request by the Irish government to find that the men who were detained during internment in 1971 were tortured by the British army. The 14 men allege they were forced to listen to constant loud music, deprived of sleep, food and water and forced to stand in a stress position and beaten if they fell. Laywers for the men have called on the Irish government to appeal today's ruling. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images)
