FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 21570/21 Elvira POPA against Romania lodged on 17 April 2021

The Subject matter of the case and Questions to the parties is available in HUDOC.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Did the applicant have at her disposal an effective domestic remedy for the complaint under Article 3 of the Convention as required by Article 13 of the Convention, including a mechanism for establishing any liability of the State as well as for obtaining compensation in that respect (see O’Keeffe v. Ireland [GC], no. 35810/09, § 177, ECHR 2014)?

In particular, considering the ongoing criminal investigation against several policemen, could the responsibility of the State be engaged on account of a failure on their part to comply with their positive obligations to secure the applicant’s rights under the Convention?
