\nand 9 other applications
\n(see appended table)<\/p>\n
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 21\u00a0March 2019 as a Committee composed of:<\/p>\n
Alena Pol\u00e1\u010dkov\u00e1, President,
\nDmitry Dedov,
\nJolien Schukking, judges,<\/p>\n
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,<\/p>\n
Having regard to the above applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table,<\/p>\n
Having regard to the declarations submitted by the respondent Government requesting the Court to strike the applications out of the list of cases, and the applicants\u2019 replies to these declarations,<\/p>\n
Having deliberated, decides as follows:<\/p>\n
FACTS AND PROCEDURE<\/p>\n
The list of applicants is set out in the appended table.<\/p>\n
The applicants\u2019 complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention were communicated to the Russian Government (\u201cthe Government\u201d). In some of the applications, complaints based on the same facts were also communicated under other provisions of the Convention.<\/p>\n
The Government submitted declarations with a view to resolving the issues raised by these complaints. They acknowledged the inadequate conditions of detention. In some of the applications, they further acknowledged that the domestic authorities had violated the applicants\u2019 rights guaranteed by other provisions of the Convention (see the appended table). They offered to pay the applicants the amounts detailed in the appended table and invited the Court to strike the applications out of the list of cases in accordance with Article\u00a037 \u00a7\u00a01\u00a0(c) of the Convention. The amounts would be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court\u2019s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them, from the expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.<\/p>\n
The payment will constitute the final resolution of the cases.<\/p>\n
The applicants informed the Court that they agreed to the terms of the declarations.<\/p>\n
THE LAW<\/p>\n
Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.<\/p>\n
The Court finds that, following the applicants\u2019 express agreement to the terms of the declaration made by the Government, the cases should be treated as a friendly settlement between the parties.<\/p>\n
It therefore takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify the continued examination of the applications.<\/p>\n
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list as regards the complaints concerning the inadequate conditions of detention, as well as the other complaints under the well-established case-law, covered by the Government\u2019s declarations and listed in the appended table.<\/p>\n
The applicant in application no. 6315\/18 also complained about conditions of his detention during another period, not covered by the Government\u2019s unilateral declaration.<\/p>\n
The Court has examined the application and considers that, in the light of all the material in its possession and in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, that complaint does not meet the admissibility criteria set out in Articles\u00a034 and\u00a035 of the Convention.<\/p>\n
It follows that this part of the application must be rejected in accordance with Article\u00a035\u00a0\u00a7\u00a04 of the Convention.<\/p>\n
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,<\/p>\n
Decides to join the applications;<\/p>\n
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article\u00a039 of the Convention as regards the complaints concerning the inadequate conditions of detention as well as the other complaints under the well-established case-law, as listed in the appended table;<\/p>\n
Declares the remainder of application no. 6315\/18 inadmissible.<\/p>\n
Done in English and notified in writing on 11 April 2019.<\/p>\n
