The court upheld the prison director's disciplinary decision imposing a three-month restriction on visits for inmate N. K. The inmate argued that prison administration lacks authority to punish and that his refusal to eat was a protest against arbitrary decisions by staff member Nadaj. The court determined the penalty was legally justified, noting the inmate admitted to the violations and the sanction was not grossly disproportionate.
