FIFTH SECTION
Application no. 6312/16
Bogdan Anatoliyovych KACHUROVSKYY
against Ukraine
lodged on 16 January 2016
communicated on 27 July 2021
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the effectiveness of investigations into ill‑treatment.
In particular, on 6 July 2015, between 2 and 9 a.m., before the police was informed and arrived, private security employees locked the applicant in a food truck at a peach field for suspicion of stealing peaches.
The authorities refused to investigate the applicant’s complaints about ill‑treatment considering the applicant’s criminal complaint to be a defence strategy in a criminal case opened against him.
Relying on Article 3 of the Convention, the applicant complained that he was provided with no food, water or warm clothes while being locked in a food truck and that the investigation into his ill-treatment was ineffective.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Do the facts of the case disclose a violation of Article 3 of the Convention? In particular, did the authorities carry out an effective investigation into the applicant’s complaint that he had been ill-treated by private individuals (see Denis Vasilyev v. Russia, no. 32704/04, §§ 98-100, 17 December 2009; Biser Kostov v. Bulgaria, no. 32662/06, §§ 75-79, 10 January 2012; and Aleksandr Nikonenko v. Ukraine, no. 54755/08, §§ 43-44, 14 November 2013)?
