The United States denies entry visa to Előd Tóásó

The United States denied entry visa to Előd Tóásó who filed a lawsuit for damages at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights against Bolivia, where he spent six years in prison on fabricated terrorism charges.

Tóásó was arrested in April 2009 in Bolivia, after commandos raided the hotel where he stayed with friends; in the raid the Bolivian swat team killed Hungarian citizens Eduardo Rózsa-Flores, and Árpad Magyarosi and Irish national Michael Dwyer.

Előd Tóásó and co-accused Mario Tadic was arrested and kept in jail without trial for 6 years. The two were freed last year after a plea bargain with Bolivian authorities.

The victims – including Martin Dwyer’s family, Előd Tóásó, Mario Tadic and three Bolivian nationals filed a lawsuit against the Latin American country at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights several years ago.
