The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
The case originated in an application (no. 27529/95) against the Republic of Turkey lodged with the European Commission of Human Rights (“the Commission”) under former Article 25 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) by a Turkish national, Ms Semra Caralan (“the applicant”), on 18 April 1995.
The applicant was represented by Mr Kamil Tekin Sürek, a lawyer practising in Istanbul. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) did not designate an Agent for the purposes of the proceedings before the Court.
Following communication of the application to the Government by the Commission, the case was transferred to the Court on 1 November 1998 by virtue of Article 5 § 2 of Protocol No. 11 to the Convention. On 14 November 2002, having obtained the parties' observations, the Court declared the application admissible. The applicant's complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the length of the criminal proceedings was declared inadmissible.
On 11 April 2003 and on 9 July 2003 the applicant and the Government respectively submitted formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case.
