SUBJECT MATTER OF the CASE

The applications concern the domestic authorities ’ refusal to increase the applicants ’ compensation for their relatives ’ deaths as a result of a terrorist attack, in application of Article 8 § 2 of the Council of Europe Convention on the compensation of victims of violent crimes of 24 November 1983 and Article 3bis § 2 of law 29/2011, of 22 September 2011, on comprehensive recognition and protection of victims of terrorism, on the ground that those relatives had belonged to a terrorist organization.
