KURT v. TÜRKİYE and 101 other applications

Published on 24 February 2025   SECOND SECTION Application no. 38878/22 Zafer KURT against Türkiye and 101 other applications (see list appended) communicated on 7 February 2025 SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE The applications mainly concern the applicants’ arrest and pre-trial detention, on suspicion of membership of FETÖ/PDY (an organisation described by the Turkish authorities as “Fetullahist Terror Organisation / Parallel State Structure”), in the aftermath of the attempted coup d’état which took place on 15 July 2016. The applicants complain of a violation of Article 5 of the Convention on the basis of the following allegations (see the appended table for detailed information as to the specific complaints raised by each applicant): - They were detained in the absence of any suspicion that they committed an offence; - There were no relevant and sufficient reasons to justify their initial and/or continued pre-trial detention; - The length of their pre-trial detention was excessive; - The reviews of detention took place without a hearing and they were not notified of the opinion of the public prosecutor on those reviews; - Their access to the investigation files was restricted; - The objections to their detention or their requests for release were not examined or examined belatedly; - The decisions extending their pre-trial detention were not notified to them, or were notified with a delay, which prevented them from objecting against those decisions; - They did not benefit from effective legal assistance and facilities to challenge their detention, having particular regard to the fact that their communication with their lawyers was monitored by the prison authorities; - The time taken by the Constitutional Court to conduct its examination of their individual applications was excessive. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES On the basis of the complaints communicated in accordance with the list in the Appendix   1.  Can the applicants be considered to have been detained on the basis of “a reasonable suspicion” that they had committed an offence, for the purposes of Article 5 § 1 (c) of the Convention (see, in particular, Fox, Campbell and Hartley v. the United Kingdom, 30 August 1990, § 32, Series A No. 182), taking into account, in particular, Article 100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which requires “concrete evidence demonstrating the existence of strong suspicions” as to the commission of the offence? Moreover, has the Constitutional Court based the existence of reasonable suspicion on evidence discovered after the decisions had been taken to detain the applicants (see, in particular, Baş v. Turkey, no. 66448/17, § 185, 3 March 2020)?   2.  Was the applicants’ pre-trial detention compatible with the requirements of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention? In particular: (i)  Did the judges, who ordered the applicants’ initial pre-trial detention and the prolongation of their detention, and who examined the objections lodged against those decisions, fulfil their obligation to provide relevant and sufficient grounds for the deprivation of liberty in question (see, in particular, Buzadji v. the Republic of Moldova [GC], no. 23755/07, § 102, 5 July 2016)? (ii)  Was the length of the applicants’ pre-trial detention in breach of the “reasonable time” requirement under Article 5 § 3 of the Convention?   3.  Did the applicants have at their disposal an effective remedy by which they could challenge the lawfulness of their deprivation of liberty, as required by Article 5 § 4 of the Convention? In particular, the Government are invited to respond to the following complaints made by the applicants: (i)  the principle of equality of arms had not been respected, as the decisions to extend their detention and their objections to those decisions had been examined without a hearing and the prosecutors’ opinions had not been communicated to them (see, in particular, Baş, cited above, §§ 212-14, and Kocamış and Kurt v. Turkey, no. 227/13, §§ 34-35, 25 January 2022); (ii)  they had been unable to challenge their detention in an effective manner because of the restriction imposed on their access to the investigation file (see, inter alia, Ceviz v. Turkey, no. 8140/08, § 41, 17 July 2012); (iii)  their objections to their detention had not been examined or had been examined belatedly (see, for example, Shannon v. Latvia, no. 32214/03, §§ 67-74, 24 November 2009); (iv)  the decisions to extend their detention had not been notified to them or had been notified with a delay, which had prevented them from lodging objections against those decisions (compare, for example, Voskuil v. the Netherlands, no. 64752/01, § 83, 22 November 2007); (v)  they had not had effective legal assistance or facilities to challenge their detention, having particular regard to the fact that their communication with their lawyers had been monitored (see, mutatis mutandis, Černák v. Slovakia, no. 36997/08, § 78, 17 December 2013); (vi)  the time taken by the Constitutional Court to examine their individual applications had been excessive (compare for the relevant principles Kavala v. Turkey, no. 28749/18, §§ 181-84, 10 December 2019). 4.  Did the compensation remedy provided under Article 141 of the Code of Criminal Procedure constitute an effective remedy, within the meaning of Article 5 § 4 of the Convention, in respect of any of the applicants’ complaints?   APPENDIX List of cases:   No. Application no.
