What the court decided
The court held that before applying the exclusion clause in a case of complicity in an honour killing, it should consider whether family constraint might have lowered the applicant's free will and whether their young age might have made them more vulnerable to this constraint, and that an individual can be considered an accomplice to a serious non-political crime without being fully responsible if they acted under pressure due to their young age.
