He claims that for more than five months, from 10 July to 20 December 2015, the therapy has been interrupted by detention authorities. He further submits that antiretroviral drugs given to him on 17 August 2016 were far beyond their expiration date and that no other medication was provided.

4. Did the applicant have at his disposal an effective domestic remedy for his complaints under Article 3 about the lack of medical treatment as required by Article 13 of the Convention?
