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

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - MARCH 20: Jim Auld, Patrick McNally, Liam Shannon, Francis McGuigan, Davy Rodgers, Brian Turley and Joe Clarke, known as the 'Hooded Men' make their way from a press conference after giving their reaction to the European Court of Human Rights' decision in their case 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)
