B. Relevant domest ic law and practice
A description of the relevant domestic law may be found in Gülmez v. Turkey , no. 16330/02, § § 13-15 , 20 May 2008 and Aydemir and others ( dec .), nos. 9097/05, 9491/05, 9498/05, 9500/05, 9505/05 and 9509/05, 9 November 2010.
THE LAW
Given the similarity of the applications, as regards both fact and law, the Court deems it appropriate to join them.
The applicants mainly argued that they did not have a fair hearing during the disciplinary proceedings in question as the domestic courts had delivered their decisions on the basis of the case files and that they had been deprived of their right to defend themselves in person or through the assistance of a lawyer. In this respect, most of the applicants relied on Article 6 of the Convention. The remaining applicants, based on the same facts and raising the same complaint, merely cited Articles 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, and Article 2 of Protocol No. 1. The Court notes that although the applicants referred to different Articles of the Convention, they all complained about the unfairness of the disciplinary proceedings in dispute. It will thus examine these complaints under Article 6 of the Convention.
Furthermore, some of the applicants (as indicated in the table above), alleged a violation of Article 8 in respect of the ban on their right to correspondence and/or visiting rights, or a violation of Article 10, stating that the disciplinary sanctions imposed on them had violated their right to freedom of expression.
The Court notes that by Law no. 6008 of 22 July 2010, Section 6 of the Law on Enforcement Judges was amended so as to allow prisoners charged with disciplinary offences to defend themselves in person or through legal assistance. It further observes that the new law also provides a remedy for all those prisoners who had previously been charged with disciplinary offences to file a fresh objection with the Enforcement Judge concerning their previous sentences within six months following the adoption of this law. Such requests would be examined by the Enforcement Judge in the light of the new procedure.
The Court has already examined that remedy and found it effective in respect of complaints for applications concerning prison disciplinary sanctions. In partic ular, it considered that the new remedy was accessible and provided reasonable prospects of success (see , Aydemir and others , cited above). In assessing the effectiveness of the new remedy, the Court had regard to sample decisions submitted by the Government, according to which upon fresh objections, the Enforcement Judges had re-evaluated the evidence in the case file and annulled the disciplinary sanctions in dispute, clearing the respective prisoners of all consequences of the offence.
Considering that there are no exceptional circumstances capable of exempting the present applicants from the obligation to exhaust domestic remedies, the Court concludes that the y should avail themselves of the new remedy offered by Law No. 6008 of 22 July 2010 .
Therefore, the application s must be rejected under Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to join the applications;
Declares the application s inadmissible.
