SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no . 24849/07 Ömer AKÇINAR against Turkey and 11 other applications (see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 22 November 2016 as a Committee composed of:
Paul Lemmens, President, Ksenija Turković, Jon Fridrik Kjølbro, judges,
and Hasan Bakırcı, Deputy Section Registrar ,
Having regard to the above applications lodged on various dates indicated in the appended table ,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
The applicants complained under Article 5 § 1 (a) of the Convention about the disciplinary room confinement sanction which had been imposed on them by their military superiors.
The Court received friendly-settlement declarations under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey 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 settlements reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlements are based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols 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.
Done in English and notified in writing on 15 December 2016 .
