SECOND SECTION

Applications nos. 16546/19 and 19394/19 MaÅŸallah KORKMAZ against Turkey and Ahmet Muhammed DEMIRCI against Turkey lodged on 12 March 2019 and 27 March 2019 respectively communicated on 30 September 2021

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The applications concern the imposition on the applicants, detained in a prison at the time of events, of disciplinary sanctions, consisting respectively of a ban from participating in social activities for two months and of restriction of communications by phone for one month, on the ground that they had spoken to people other than the one person they were allowed to speak on the phone by prison authorities.

Relying on Article 8 of the Convention, the applicants complain about the sanction inflicted on them. They argue that the disciplinary sanctions had no legal basis and the act for which they were sanctioned was not regulated as a disciplinary offence in the relevant legislation.

QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES

1. Has there been an interference with the applicants` rights to respect for their private and family life, within the meaning of Article 8 § 1 of the Convention on account of the disciplinary penalties imposed on them?

2. If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary, within the meaning of Article 8 § 2 of the Convention?
