FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Çilem İlaslan , is a Turkish national, who was born in 1984 and lives in Istanbul She was represented before the Court by Mrs G. Altay and Mr H. Karakuş , lawyers practising in Istanbul .

The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent .

The applicant complained under Article 6 §§ 1, 2 and 3 and Articles 7, 10 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 of the Convention with regard to the suspension of her newspaper ’ s publication .

On 8 February 2013 and 7 October 2013 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay her EUR 1,800 (one thousand eight hundred euros) to cover non ‑ pecuniary damage and EUR 1,000 (one thousand euros) to cover any costs and expenses, which will be converted into Turkish liras at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay this sum within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on it, 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 case.

THE LAW

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 its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court unanimously

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.
