FACTS AND PROCEDURE
A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The Russian Government (“the Government”) was represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
The applicants complained under Article 3 of the Convention about the lack of requisite medical assistance and under Article 13 about the lack of an effective remedy to complain about poor medical assistance. The applicant in case no. 63378/13 also complained under Articles 8 and 14 about the lack of respect for private life and discrimination.
The applicants’ complaints were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their observations in reply. No reply followed.
By letter dated 22 July 2016, sent by registered post, the applicants were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired on 9 November 2015 for applicants in cases nos. 7805/07, 47236/11, 63378/13, on 8 February 2016 for applicant in case no. 11823/12 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants’ attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The letters were delivered to the applicants on various dates in August and September 2016. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
The Court considers that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their applications, within the meaning of 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the cases.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 26 January 2017.
