FACTS AND PROCEDURE
1. The applicant, Mr Ramazan Tilaver, is a Turkish national, who was born in 1987 and lives in İzmir.
2. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
3. The applicant complained under Articles 5 and 6 of the Convention about the disciplinary penalty (room confinement) imposed on him by his military superiors while he was doing his military service.
4. The applicant’s complaints were communicated to the Government and the applicant was invited to submit his just satisfaction claims. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
5. By letter dated 14 August 2015, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his just satisfaction claims had expired on 20 November 2013 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s 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 applicant received this letter on 26 August 2015. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
6. The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his application, 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 case.
7. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
