European Court of Human Rights condemned Hungary twice for detaining asylum-seekers in breach of Article 5(1) of the European Convention of Human Rights:
- Al-Tayyar Abdelhakim v. Hungary (no. 13058/11)
- Hendrin Ali Said and Aras Ali Said (no. 13457/11)

The UNHCR reiterated its recommendation for Dublin II asylum-seekers not to be removed to Hungary six months after a first report warning against arbitrary detention and unfair treatment of asylum-seekers in Hungary.
