SECOND SECTION

Application no. 61016/16 Hakime ÅžENGÃœL and others against Turkey lodged on 26 September 2016

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the abduction and subsequent killing of the first applicant ’ s husband and the remaining applicants ’ father Abdülmecit Şengül . The applicants rely on Articles 2, 6 and 13 of the Convention and allege, in particular, that no effective investigation was conducted into the abduction and killing.

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 killing 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?
