Tokens: However
,
I
do
not
consider
that
the
absence
of
such
independent
review
or
procedural
safeguards
can
be
said
to
rob
the
applicant
,
as
a
life
prisoner
,
of
any
“
hope
”
or
“
prospect
”
of
release
,
as
those
terms
have
been
previously
interpreted
and
applied
by
the
Court
.
Nor
,
having
regard
to
the
way
in
which
the
powers
have
been
exercised
in
practice
in
Cyprus
(
see
paragraph
52
of
the
judgment
)
,
can
I
accept
the
suggestion
in
the
minority
opinion
that
,
in
the
absence
of
any
independent
review
or
procedural
safeguards
,
any
prospect
of
release
in
the
Republic
is
not
“
real
and
tangible
”
and
that
,
consequently
,
the
life
sentence
imposed
on
the
applicant
subjected
him
to
inhuman
and
degrading
treatment
in
violation
of
Article
3
.
