The European Commission of Human Rights unanimously concluded that in the cases of Tsirlis and Kouloumpas, there was a violation of their right to liberty and security of person, their detention was unlawful, they had a right to compensation, and they had not enjoyed a fair hearing by a tribunal.
Euroopa Inimõiguste Komisjon otsustas ühehäälselt, et Tsirlise ja Kouloumpase juhtumeil rikuti nende õigust vabadusele ja isikupuutumatusele, nende vangistamine oli ebaseaduslik, neil on õigus saada hüvitus ja et asja arutamisel oli kohus olnud nende vastu erapoolik.
