FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The applicants’ various complaints under the Convention were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits in the application no. 24699/21 and did not submit observations in the other three applications. The applicants were required to submit their observations, together with any claims for just satisfaction (see details in the appendix).
By letters sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms), the applicants’ representatives and the applicant (application no. 24699/21) were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired and that no extension of time had been requested (see appended table for dates).
Their 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. No reply followed.
THE LAW
Having regard to the similar procedural conduct of the applicants, 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.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the applications out of the list of cases.
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 12 June 2025.
