By letter dated 20 May 2021, sent by registered post, the applicant was requested to submit information concerning further developments in the case, including whether his detention had come to an end. 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 this letter on 4 June 2021. However, no response has followed.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
