Anmodning om hvorvidt klager kan få beskikket forsvarer i en klagesag over ulovlig anholdelse og frihedsberøvelse, tages til følge

[DOKUMENT] Retsbog med kendelse (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ KENDELSE

Afsagt den 16. januar 2009 af Østre Landsrets 15. afdeling (landsdommerne Henrik Bitsch, B. Vollmond og Lotte H. Wetterling (kst.)).

15. afd. kære nr. S-67-09: Anklagemyndigheden mod Klager (CPR nr. (Født 1976)) (advokat Hans Henrik Haume)

Advokat Hans Henrik Haume har på vegne Klager kæret Københavns By-rets afgørelse af 2. december 2008 (98-26229/2008), hvorefter retten ikke fandt tilstrække-ligt grundlag for at beskikke advokat.

Det fremgår af sagen, at kærendes klage blandt andet angår anvendelse af overdreven og unødvendig rå og brutal magt. Det fremgår endvidere, at kærende er blevet lagt på jorden, lagt i håndjern og truet med peberspray.

På den baggrund findes betingelserne for at imødekomme kærendes anmodning om at få beskikket en advokat opfyldt, jf. retsplejelovens § 1019e, stk. 2.

Thibestemmes:

/

Klagers anmodning om, at der beskikkes en advokat for ham i medfør af retsplejelovens § 1019e, stk. 2, tages til følge.
