Arsenal stadium faces human-rights challenge
Two London residents have asked the European Court of Human Rights to block Arsenal's plans for a new soccer stadium, charging that the club infringed their rights by withholding information that the project was "not financially viable." The expected £400 million cost of the project, including both construction costs and the cost of relocating existing businesses, would be paid by the team; but local residents are opposed to having a new stadium in their neighborhood.
