The applicants ’ complaints under Article 5 § 1, Article 6 § § 1 and 3 (b) and (c), and Article 9 of the Convention concerning their allegedly unlawful arrest and detention, the alleged unlawful interference with their freedom of religion and the alleged unfairness of the administrative proceedings against them on account of violating the legislative rules on organising and holding religious meetings were communicated to the Azerbaijani Government (“the Government”) .
The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations , signed by the parties, under which the applicant s agreed to waive any further claims against Azerbaijan in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court ’ s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake 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.
The payment will constitute the final resolution of the cases.
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 .
The Court 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 a continued examination of the applications.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case s 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 in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention .
