Tokens: We
do
not
share
the
opinion
of
the
majority
as
regards
Article
3
of
the
Convention
and
we
wish
to
state
our
reasons
for
this
.
The
issue
at
the
heart
of
this
case
is
whether
a
life
sentence
or
an
irreducible
sentence
is
compatible
with
Article
3
of
the
Convention
.
In
the
current
context
,
this
is
a
crucial
issue
in
view
of
the
trend
observed
in
many
European
countries
towards
longer
custodial
sentences
.
