SECOND SECTION
Application no. 6597/20
Enver EVREN against Türkiye
and 2 other applications
(see list appended)
communicated on 29 November 2024
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applications concern the rejection of the applicants’ requests for their transfer to a prison located closer to the place of residence of their families. The applicants were serving a prison sentence at the relevant time. The Ministry of Justice refused the applicants’ requests stating that the prisons to which they wished to be transferred were full.
Relying on Article 8 of the Convention, the applicants allege that their repeated requests to be transferred to a prison located closer to their families’ place of residence were rejected without sufficient justification.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Has there been a violation of the applicants’ right to respect for their family life contrary to Article 8 of the Convention on account of the refusal of the domestic authorities to authorise the transfer of the applicants to a prison located closer to their families’ place of residence (see Avşar and Tekin v. Turkey, nos. 19302/09 and 49089/12, §§ 60-74, 17 September 2019)?
