Darian Pavli , President , Ioannis Ktistakis, Andreas Zünd , judges ,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 14 October 2020,

Having regard to the decision to grant the applicants anonymity, in accordance with Rule 47 § 4 of the Rules of the Court,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.

The applicants, mother and daughter, were represented by Ms I. Metton, a lawyer practising in Paris.

On 15 October 2020 the Court acceded to the first applicant’s request to apply Rule 39 of the Rules of Court and indicated that the Government should guarantee to the first applicant living conditions compatible with her state of health and should provide her with adequate healthcare compatible with her state of health.

The applicants’ complaints under Articles 3 and/or 8 concerning their living conditions, as well as under Article 13 of the Convention regarding the existence of an effective remedy in order to complain of their living conditions, were communicated to the Greek Government (“the Government”).

On 15 August 2022 the applicants’ representative informed the Registry that the applicants wanted to withdraw their application to the Court.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention). Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine , the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

It is therefore also appropriate to discontinue the application of Rule 39 of the Rules of Court.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 12 January 2023.
