FACTS AND PROCEDURE

1. A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.

2. The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, the Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.

3. The applicants complained, in particular, about the conditions of their detention in Russian penitentiary facilities.

4. By letters submitted on various dates , the Government informed the Court that they proposed to make a declaration with a view to resolving the issues raised by the applications. They acknowledged that the applicants had been detained or transported in the conditions which did not comply with the requirements of Article 3 of the Convention . The Government stated their readiness to pay the following amounts to the applicants as just satisfaction: 9 , 000 euros (EUR) to Mr Glushchenko, EUR 11 , 462 to Mr Dorofeyev, EUR 5 , 000 to Mr Severin, EUR 3 ,315 to Mr Razgulyayev, EUR 4 , 625 to Mr Belokurov, EUR 4 , 815 to Mr Kuzmin, and EUR 3 , 500 to Mr Kamyshan . The payment was to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage, together with any costs and expenses incurred, as well as any tax that may be chargeable. It would be effected within a period of three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay within that period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on it, from 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 would constitute the final resolution of the cases.

5. In their letters of different dates , the applicants informed the Court that they agreed to the terms of the Government ’ s declarations.

THE LAW

6. Having regard to the similarity of the main issues under the Convention in the above cases, the Court decides to join the applications and examine them in a single decision.

7. The Court considers that the applicants ’ agreement to the terms of the declarations made by the Government shall be considered as a friendly settlement between the parties (see Cēsnieks v. Latvia (dec.), no. 9278/06, § 34, 6 March 2012, and Bakal and Others v. Turkey (dec.), no. 8243/08, 5 June 2012 ).

8. The Court 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 its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the applications.

9. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case s out of the list in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.

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.
