The applicant, Ms DenizYıldız, is a Turkish national, who was born in 1981 and is serving a prison sentence in Sincan, Ankara. She is represented before the Court by Ms S. Coşkun, a lawyer practising in Ankara.
The facts of the case, as submitted by the applicant, may be summarised as follows.
While serving her prison sentence in Ankara, the applicant filed a petition to be granted a pardon by the President of the Republic on the ground that she was suffering from persistently active rheumatoid arthritis (�RA�).
In order to determine whether the applicant�s condition fell within the scope of the President�s clemency power, she was referred to the Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute for a medical examination on 9 March 2010.
On 10 March 2010 on her arrival at the prison from the Institute at 10.30‑11.00 p.m., four female officers attempted to strip-search her, which included a genital inspection. The applicant, who was ordered to strip naked, allegedly for the first time, refused. She said that such treatment would be degrading and in contravention of the law. She also demanded that a routine body search should be carried out as usual.
