THYNNE, WILSON AND GUNNELL v. THE UNITED KINGDOM
Auszug aus EKMR, 01.07.1998 - 32875/96
The 1991 Act instituted changes to the regime applicable to the release of discretionary life prisoners following the decision of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Thynne, Wilson and Gunnell v. the United Kingdom (judgment of 25 October 1990, Series A no. 190-A).It is in a distinct category from discretionary life sentences and sentences of detention during Her Majesty's pleasure which are indeterminate and whose character and purpose are identifiably different, being justified primarily by considerations of the offenders' character, mental state or age and their resulting dangerousness, which factors may change over time (eg.

FAYED c. ROYAUME-UNI
Auszug aus EKMR, 01.07.1998 - 32875/96
The Commission recalls that in the Wynne case the Court distinguished a mandatory life sentence for murder from a discretionary life sentence on the basis that it has an essentially punitive character and is imposed automatically because of the inherent gravity of the offence (Eur. Court HR, judgment of 18 July 1994, Series A no. 294, p. 14, para. 35) Consequently, the Court found that as regards mandatory life sentences applying to adults over the age of 21, the guarantees of Article 5 para.
