Having regard to the above application lodged on 22 February 2021,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Georgios Drivas, was born in 1975.
The applicant was represented by Mr K. Tsitselikis and Mr A. Spathis, two lawyers practising in Thessaloniki.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention as well as under Article 13 of the Convention concerning the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law in respect of inadequate conditions of detention were communicated to the Greek Government (“the Government”).
On 30 October 2024 the applicant informed the Registry that he wanted to withdraw the application.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention). Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 22 January 2026.
