THE FACTS

1 . The applicant, Mr Yasin Ayd ı n, is a Turkish national who was born in 1967 and is currently serving his prison sentence in the Muş F-type Prison. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) are represented by their Agent .

2 . On 6 March 2006 the applicant wrote a petition to the Ministry of Justice and requested his transfer to the Imrali Prison, where Abdullah Öcalan was imprisoned. On 5 April 2006 the Prison Disciplinary Board found the applicant guilty of making propaganda in favour of an illegal organisation and sentenced him to twelve days ' solitary confinement. The applicant ' s appeal requests were rejected on 17 April 2006 and 30 June 2006 respectively by the Enforcement Judge and the Assize Court .

T HE LAW

3 . The applicant invoked Articles 3, 6, 7 and 10 of the Convention.

4 . The Court notes that this set of disciplinary proceedings is already the subject of another application (no. 43641/05) lodged by the same applicant, and which was also communicated to the Government on 1 October 2008. As a result, the present case should be declared inadmissible under Article 35 §§ 2 (b) and 4 of the Convention for being substantially the same as application no. 43641/05.

For these r easons, the Court unanimously

Declares the application inadmissible.
