Russia (application no. 67200/12) The applicant, Ivan Sergeyevich Bodalev, is a Russian national. The case concerns the applicant's prosecution following his participation in peaceful demonstrations in St Petersburg between 2011 and 2013. Some of the demonstrations were rallies to protest against the recent elections, while others were "performances" staged in criticism of the Government. He was convicted for not complying with orders to disperse during events which had not been officially approved. He was mainly sentenced to fines and on one occasion to 11 days' detention. The applicant alleges that the convictions breached his rights under Articles 10 (freedom of expression) and 11 (freedom of assembly) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Korshunova v. Russia (no. 46147/19) The applicant, Ms Yekaterina Anatolyevna Korshunova, is a Russian national who was born in 1984 and lives in Saint Petersburg. The case concerns the confiscation and sale of a flat owned by the applicant. The measure was ordered by the courts for the benefit of a civil party, following the criminal conviction of the husband of the property's vendor. Relying on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention (protection of property), the applicant complains that the order for the forced sale of her flat was unlawful and disproportionate. Gasi and Others v. Serbia (no. 24738/19) The applicants, Ilir Gasi, Vukasin Obradovi, Antonela Riha and Tamara Skroza are Serbian nationals who were born in 1980, 1962, 1963, and 1973, respectively, and live in Belgrade. The applicants are journalists and civil-sector activists, often critical of the government and the authorities. The case concerns their allegation of a smear campaign against them in 2016 after they had participated in protests against certain demolition and building projects in Belgrade and changes to the management of a regional radio-television station. In particular, printed and online articles in the media accused the applicants of being traitors and extremists acting at the behest of the European Union and the USA and wishing to destabilise the State and assassinate the Prime Minister. The applicants lodged a criminal complaint against the authors and editors of the articles, which was rejected by the public prosecutor. Relying on Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the Convention, the applicants complain that the State failed to protect them from the campaign against them in the media and the resulting threatening online comments. They allege in particular that a pattern of retribution against high-profile critics of the government in Serbia had contributed to an increasingly hostile environment for free expression and open debate. Ete v. T�rkiye (no. 28154/20) The applicant, Ms Fehime Ete, is a national of T�rkiye who was born in 1960 and lives in Siirt. The case concerns the applicant's conviction and sentence to a suspended ten-month term of imprisonment, on a charge of propaganda in support of a terrorist organisation for her acts during a demonstration in Siirt to celebrate the birthday of the leader of the PKK (Workers' Party of Kurdistan, an illegal armed organisation). Relying on Articles 10 (freedom of expression) and 11 (freedom of assembly and association), the applicant alleges that her conviction infringed her rights to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. Thursday 8 September 2022 J.I. v. Croatia (no. 35898/16) The applicant, Ms J.I., is a Croatian national who was born in 1988 and lives in Zagreb (Croatia). The case concerns her complaint that the authorities did not take seriously her allegation that her father � who was imprisoned on several counts of rape and incest against her � had threatened to kill her during prison leave. Relying in particular on Article 3 (prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment), the applicant complains that the authorities failed to protect her from her father's intimidation and the risk of her being his victim again and to effectively investigate his death threats. She also submits that her allegations were not taken seriously because of her Roma ethnicity, in breach of Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination). Drelon v. France (nos. 3153/16 and 27758/18) The applicant, Mr Laurent Drelon, is a French national who was born in 1970 and lives in Paris (France). The applications concern, first, the collection and retention of personal data reflecting the applicant's presumed sexual orientation and, second, the refusal of his offers to donate blood. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life), the applicant submits that the data reflecting his presumed sexual orientation was collected and retained by the EFS (French blood donation service) in conditions which breached this Article of the Convention. Then relying on Article 8 alone and in conjunction with Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination), he complains in his application no. 27758/18 of the decisions refusing his requests to donate blood in 2004, 2006 and 2016. Jansons v. Latvia (no. 1434/14) The applicant, Mrtis Jansons, is a Latvian national who was born in 1979 and lives in Riga. The case concerns the applicant's complaint that he was forced out of an apartment he was living in in a residential building in Riga when his right to reside there came into dispute. In particular, the residential building was sold in 2011 and the new owner placed armed security guards at the entrance to his apartment, preventing his access. Subsequently, a bailiff forced entry, changed the locks and removed the applicant's belongings. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life and the home), the applicant complains that he was unlawfully evicted from his home. He alleges in particular a breach of his rights by both the police, who refused to intervene when the security guards blocked access to his apartment, and the bailiff, whose actions had been carried out without a court order. The applicant also complains under Article 13 (right to an effective remedy) of the absence of effective domestic remedies for the protection of his rights. P.H. v. Slovakia (no. 37574/19) The applicant, P.H., is a Slovak national. The case concerns an incident in which the applicant, 16 years old at the time, fell from a secondstorey window of a police station while in custody on suspicion of theft, and the resulting investigative proceedings. According to Ms P.H., she has no memory of the events preceding her fall. She sustained multiple injuries. Relying on Articles 2 (right to life), 3 (prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment), 6 (right to a fair trial), 13 (right to an effective remedy) and 14 (prohibition of discrimination), the applicant complains, in particular, of verbal and physical ill-treatment in police custody; of the State's reaction to the incident at the police station, of the lack of an effective investigation into this matter; of the Constitutional Court's rejection of her complaint; of the lack of an effective remedy; and of discrimination due to her ethnicity and mental disability. The Court will give its rulings in writing on the following cases, some of which concern issues which have already been submitted to the Court, including excessive length of proceedings. These rulings can be consulted from the day of their delivery on the Court's online database HUDOC. They will not appear in the press release issued on that day.
