schema:articleBody	Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday defended his government's decision to suspend compensation payments to prisoners over poor conditions in overcrowded jails. Orban accused lawyers of "doing business" by exploiting "lax and absurd" laws brought in by his government after it lost a case at the European Court of Human Rights in 2015. The case forced Budapest to set rules for claiming compensation and introduce minimum standards for living space and sanitary conditions. Orban said the state had so far paid out more than 30 million euros ($33 million) to roughly 12,000 claimants -- no independent assessment of the figures was available. "The law is being taken advantage of, this is why we won't pay," Orban said, adding that he expected legal battles at a European level over the move. The government plans to suspend all payments and ask parliament to tighten the regulations. "As soon as someone enters jail, someone - a non-governmental organisation, a lawyer - approaches him or her and informs them how to make business out of that," spokesman Bence Tuzson told the Hir TV station. Tuzson said Budapest would discuss the issue with the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, a rights body which has criticised Hungarian jails as among the most overcrowded in the continent. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee human rights group said last week that the issues would be solved if the state provided dignified conditions for prisoners. The group said those conditions included adequate space, natural light and fresh air as per the rules set by Orban's own government. pmu/jsk/jxb
