FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Abdurrahman Güner, is a Turkish national, who was born in 1970 and detained in Karabük on the date of introduction of his application.
The applicant’s complaint concerning the monitoring and recording of the applicants’ conversations with his lawyer submitted under Article 8 of the Convention was communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.
By letter dated 13 June 2025, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 21 January 2025 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant received that letter on 23 June 2025. However, no response followed.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the 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 8 January 2026.
