The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
The case originated in an application (no. 57171/00) 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 seven Turkish nationals, Mr Ercan Hazırcı, Mr Sadık Günel, Mr Ercan Başkan, Ms Lütfiye Uluk, Mr Kemal İyit, Mr Uğur Parlak and Mr Erkal Balçık (“the applicants”), on 17 February 2000.
The applicants, who had been granted legal aid, were represented by Ms G. Altay, Ms F. G. Yolcu and Mr H. Karakuş (in respect of the first, the second, the fourth and the sixth applicant) and Mr Z. Polat and Mr M. Çöpür (in respect of the third, the fifth and the seventh applicant), lawyers practising in İstanbul. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) did not designate an Agent for the purposes of the proceedings before the Court.
On 4 March 2003 the Court decided to communicate the application to the Government. In a letter of 12 July 2005, the Court informed the parties that, in accordance with Article 29 § 3 of the Convention, it would decide on both the admissibility and merits of the application.
