FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The list of applicants is set out in the appendix.

The applicants’ complaint under Article 10 of the Convention concerning their criminal conviction to prison sentences, combined with a measure of suspension of the pronouncement of the judgment, were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letters.

By letters dated 2 April 2025, sent to the applicants’ representatives through the Court’s Electronic Communications Service (eComms), the applicants were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired on 10 March 2025 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants’ attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The letters were downloaded by the applicants’ representatives; however, no reply has followed.

THE LAW

Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.

In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the applications.

Accordingly, the applications should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to join the applications;

Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 25 September 2025.
