a lack of respect for their human dignity could also be considered degrading for the purposes of Article 3. This provision usually applies to cases of severe police violence and poor conditions in detention. Ireland v. United Kingdom In Ireland v. United Kingdom (1979–1980) the Court ruled that the five techniques developed by the United Kingdom (wall-standing, hooding, subjection to noise, deprivation of sleep, and deprivation of food and drink), as used against fourteen detainees in Northern Ireland by the United Kingdom, were "inhuman and degrading" and breached the European Convention on Human Rights, but did not amount to "torture". This was mainly due to the intense mental suffering and feelings of fear and inferiority that such techniques would have caused the suspects. In 2014, after new information was uncovered that showed the decision to use the five techniques in Northern Ireland in 1971–1972 had been taken by British ministers, the Irish Government asked the European Court of Human Rights to review its judgement. In 2018, by six votes to one, the Court declined. Healthcare and Article 3 The failure to provide adequate healthcare can amount to a violation of Article 3. In McGlinchey v United Kingdom [2003] Judith McGlinchey suffered from heroin withdrawal whilst in prison. It was alleged that the medical staff failed to properly monitor Ms McGlinchey, withheld medication and left her to lie in her vomit. The failure of the prison staff to provide proper medical treatment to an inmate was held to be a breach of Article 3. Similarly, the failure to transfer a prisoner to hospital for treatment and inadequate conditions of prison cells can also amount to a breach of Article 3, as established in Ciorap v Moldova [2010]. In D v UK [1997] an HIV positive man, who was a Saint Kitts national, had finished serving time in a UK prison and was awaiting deportation. However, he applied to remain in the UK on the grounds that his medical treatment would not be available upon his return. The ECtHR held that, given this exceptional circumstance, his deportation would violate Article 3. The lack of medical facilities in his home country would constitute inhuman and degrading treatment. However, the case of Hristozov v Bulgaria [2012] illustrates that the prevention of access to experimental cancer drugs would not amount to a violation of Article 3. Deportation and Article 3 A state can breach Article
