Key legal question
Whether the refusal of conditional release under Art. 86 StGB was lawful.
Extracted holding
The refusal was lawful because the appellant's overall prognosis was unfavorable, including his repeated offending, illegal stay, and stated refusal to leave Switzerland.
Extracted reasoning
Although the formal requirements were met and prison conduct was good, the court found a negative legal prognosis. Given the appellant's criminal record, lack of willingness to return to Algeria, and the impossibility of effective enforcement by removal, a further offense after release was highly likely. The differential prognosis also remained negative.
