SECOND SECTION

Application no. 65174/11 Gülpınar ADIYAMAN against Turkey lodged on 26 September 2011

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the alleged unfairness of the criminal proceedings due to the systemic restriction imposed on the applicant ’ s right of access to a lawyer during the pre-trial stage pursuant to Law no. 3842 and the subsequent use by the trial court of the statements taken in the absence of a lawyer (see Salduz v. Turkey [GC], no. 36391/02, ECHR 2008, and Ibrahim and Others v. the United Kingdom [GC], nos. 50541/08 and 3 others, ECHR 2016).

QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES

1. Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of the criminal charges against herself, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, has there been a breach of Article 6 § 3 (c) of the Convention, as a result of the lack of legal assistance available to the applicant during the preliminary investigation (see Salduz v. Turkey [GC], no. 36391/02, ECHR 2008, and Ibrahim and Others v. the United Kingdom [GC], nos. 50541/08 and 3 others, ECHR 2016)?

2. Has there been a breach of Article 6 § 3 (c) of the Convention, as a result of the absence of the applicant ’ s lawyer during the investigative measures taken in the course of the preliminary criminal investigation and the alleged failure to inform the applicant of her basic rights prior to those investigative measures (see, mutatis mutandis , Bozkaya v. Turkey , no. 46661/09, 5 September 2017)?

The Government are invited to submit copies of all the relevant documents concerning the applicant ’ s case, including but not limited to the applicant ’ s statements taken during the preliminary investigation, the evidence obtained thereby, the minutes of all the hearings, the reasoned judgment(s) of the trial court, the decisions of the Court of Cassation, documentary evidence against the applicant, and the written submissions of the applicant and her lawyer throughout the proceedings.
