The European Court of Human Rights has condemned Switzerland for denying a pregnant detainee her right to family life.
Judges ruled unanimously that Switzerland breached article eight of the convention by refusing to let her partner visit her in prison or attend the birth of their child.
The Spanish national, born in 1994, had been held in pretrial detention on drug charges when she made the request.
Switzerland must pay her EUR 1,730 in moral damages and EUR 4,000 in costs.
The case sets a marker for how far Swiss prisons can restrict partner contact during pregnancy and childbirth.
