Lithuania prisoner should have internet acces


The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has
ruled that Lithuanian prisoner should be given
access to the internet. It comes after a Lithuanian
man in jail was 'unfairly' denied access to the
internet in the prison.
According to BBC, the prison authorities had
barred the inmate, Henrikas Jankovskis from
going online to apply for a law course, stating
that the websites he had wanted to visit were all
government-run.
During the hearing, the court ruled they had not
provided sufficient reasons for a ban and agreed
that the Lithuanian prisoner should be allowed on
to websites that featured learning and study
programmes because they were relevant to his
aim to further his education.
