The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
The case originated in three applications (nos. 33412/02, 30229/02 and 30263/02) against the Republic of Turkey lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) by six Turkish nationals, Mr Ekrem Zerey, Mr Rıfat Demir, Mr Mehmet Garip Özer, Mr Ahmet Şahin, Mr Ahmet Durmaz and Mr Davut Şahin (“the applicants”), on 6 June 2002 and 29 July 2002.
The first applicant was represented by Mr M. Özbekli, a lawyer practising in Diyarbakır. The other applicants were represented by Mr M. Özbekli, Mr I. Sağlam and Mr M. H. Yılmaz, lawyers practising in Diyarbakır. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) did not designate an Agent for the purposes of the proceedings before the Court.
On 21 March 2006 and 1 June 2006 the Court declared the applications partly inadmissible and decided to communicate the applicants’ complaints under Article 5 of the Convention to the Government. Under the provisions of Article 29 § 3 of the Convention, it decided to examine the merits of the applications at the same time as their admissibility.
