SECOND SECTION

Application no. 33339/16 Dilgeş SARAÇ and Hacer SARAÇ against Turkey lodged on 27 May 2016

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the death of the first applicant ’ s father and the second applicant ’ s husband Fahri Saraç when the vehicle in which he was travelling was hit by an armoured military vehicle. The applicants complain of a violation of, inter alia , Article 2 of the Convention and allege, in particular, that the national authorities failed to carry out an effective investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.

QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES

1. Did the applicants have an “arguable claim” that there had been a violation of their rights under Article 2 of the Convention?

2. Was the decision of the Constitutional Court not to examine the applicants ’ complaints concerning the death of their relative from the standpoint of the right to life – to which the applicants expressly referred in the application form they submitted to that court – compatible with the obligation to provide an effective remedy within the meaning of Article 13 of the Convention read in conjunction with Article 2 of the Convention?
