SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the refusal of the domestic authorities to grant the applicant, who was detained at the relevant time, permission to receive visits from his school-age child during the weekends.
The applicant complains of a violation of his rights under Article 8 of the Convention due to the decision of the domestic authorities not to allow him to receive visits during weekends.
 
 
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
1.  Has there been an interference with the applicant’s right to respect for his private and family life, within the meaning of Article 8 § 1 of the Convention, on account of the impugned restrictions on weekend visits (see Subaşı and Others v. Türkiye, nos. 3468/20 and 18 others, §§ 77-79, 6 December 2022)?
2.  If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary in terms of Article 8 § 2 of the Convention? In particular, did the domestic authorities make a concrete assessment of the applicant’s needs and engage with his complaints in accordance with the guarantees inherent in Article 8 of the Convention (ibid., §§ 80-93)?
