The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
The case originated in an application (no. 33234/96) 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, N.Ö. (“the applicant”), on 13 September 1996.
The applicant, who had been granted legal aid, was represented by Mr Sedat Çınar, a lawyer practising in Diyarbakır. The Turkish Government did not designate an Agent for the purposes of the proceedings before the Court. The President of the Chamber acceded to the applicant's request not to have her name disclosed (Rule 47 § 3 of the Rules of Court).
The applicant complained under Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention that her husband, M.S.Ö., was tortured by members of the security forces and died in consequence thereof.
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.
