SECOND SECTION

Application no. 59527/15 Sergiu HODOROGEA against the Republic of Moldova lodged on 27 November 2015

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the applicant ’ s detention in pre-trial detention for one year and eleven months. He complains under Article 5 of the Convention that his detention was not lawful under domestic law, because it was too long. Since the applicant ’ s detent ion was longer than twelve months, the case raises issues which are similar to those examined in Savca v. the Republic of Moldova , no. 17963/08 , 15 March 2016. The case also raises issues under Article 3 of the Convention in view of the applicant ’ s allegations concerning the poor conditions of detention in Prison no. 13.

The applicant raises other complaints under Article 5 §§ 3 and 4 and under Article 13 of the Convention.

QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES

1. Did the material conditions of the applicant ’ s detention in Prison no. 13 amount to inhuman or degrading treatment?

2. Was the applicant ’ s pre-trial detention in breach of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention (see Savca v. the Republic of Moldova , no. 17963/08 , 15 March 2016 )?
