The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
The case originated in an application (no. 24669/94) 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 two Turkish nationals, Ms Seher Karataş and Mr Güven Boğa (“the applicants”), on 11 July 1994.
The applicants were represented by Mr Kamil Tekin Sürek, a lawyer practising in Istanbul, Turkey. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
The applicants complained that they had been victims of a violation of Article 3 of the Convention in that they were ill-treated by police both at the time of their arrest on 5 February 1994 and whilst they were being held in police custody.
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 September 1999, having obtained the parties’ observations, the Court declared the application admissible.
