Having regard to the above application lodged on 5 January 2019,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Petros Avetisovych Sarkisyan, was born in 1964. He was represented by Mr A.V. Leshchenko, a lawyer practising in Odesa.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 5 § 3 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of pre-trial detention and lack of compensation for unlawful detention were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”).
On 5 November 2025 the applicant informed the Registry that he wanted to withdraw the application to the Court since he was no longer interested in pursuing it.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 8 January 2026.
