SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 56670/22
Özlem KURT
against Türkiye
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 21 May 2026 as a Committee composed of:
 Stéphane Pisani, President,
 Juha Lavapuro,
 Hugh Mercer, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application against the Republic of Türkiye lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 29 November 2022,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Özlem Kurt, was born in 1994. She was represented by Mr B. Kelebek, a lawyer practising in Istanbul.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, concerning the alleged unfairness of the proceedings against her were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”).
On 21 April 2026 the applicant’s representative informed the Registry that they wanted to withdraw the application to the Court since the Court of Cassation has quashed the fine forming the basis of the case by way of extraordinary legal remedies.
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 11 June 2026.
