Having regard to the above applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The applicants’ complaints under Article 8 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the allocation or transfer to a remote penal facility irrespective of family life considerations and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”).
On 3 September 2020 the Government submitted a rectified declaration concerning one household comprising all the applicants. On 15 September 2020 the declaration was forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to inform the Court by 27 October 2020 whether they accepted the proposal. No reply was received from the applicants in this respect.
By letters dated 1 February 2021, sent by registered post, the applicants were notified that the period allowed for submission of their position concerning the friendly settlement proposals had expired 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 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 applicants received these letters on 9 February 2021. However, no response followed.
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.
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 applications.
Accordingly, the cases should be struck 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 22 July 2021.
