issued by the Registrar of the Court ECHR 117 (2023) 19.04.2023 Forthcoming judgments and decisions The European Court of Human Rights will be notifying in writing one judgment on Tuesday 25 April 2023 and 11 judgments and / or decisions on Thursday 27 April 2023. Press releases and texts of the judgments and decisions will be available at 10 a.m. (local time) on the Court's Internet site (www.echr.coe.int). Tuesday 25 April 2023 Ohanjanyan v. Armenia (application no. 70665/11) The applicant, Suren Ohanjanyan, now deceased, was an Armenian national who was born in 1953 and lived in Yerevan. His widow has continued the application in his stead. The case concerns the death of the applicant's son, T. Ohanjanyan, in 2007 during his compulsory military service. The official reason for the death was electrocution through his accidentally touching the guy wires of a radio relay station antenna mast, which was not earthed properly. The investigation was, however, still ongoing as of January 2022. Relying on Article 2 (right to life) of the European Convention on Human Rights, the applicant strongly disputes the electrocution hypothesis, and complains that the authorities failed to provide a plausible explanation for or properly investigate the death of his son. He believes that his son was murdered, and alleges that the authorities failed to properly examine photographs of the corpse that show signs of ill-treatment, including missing teeth and burn marks. Thursday 27 April 2023 Abbasaliyeva v. Azerbaijan (no. 6950/13) The applicant, Shahla Samad gizi Abbasaliyeva, is an Azerbaijani national who was born in 1959 and lives in Gazakh (Azerbaijan). The case concerns several articles published about the applicant in the G�ndlik Baki newspaper in 2011 which said that she did not deserve her recent appointment as head physician of a hospital's outpatient clinic in Gazakh, because her brother had been convicted of participating in the attempted 1995 coup d'�tat. She was subsequently dismissed from her post as head physician and unsuccessfully brought proceedings against both her employer and the newspaper. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) and Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the Convention, the applicant complains that the national courts' failure to grant her claims against the newspaper and her dismissal from the post of head physician breached her right to reputation and discriminated against her. She argues in particular that the articles were written in bad faith and intended to discredit her solely because of her brother's political views and conviction. Dursun Aliyev v. Azerbaijan (no. 20216/14) The applicant, Dursun Israfil oglu Aliyev, is an Azerbaijani national who was born in 1961 and lives in Baku. He used to work as an operations officer in a police office. The case concerns criminal proceedings that were brought against him on charges of drug dealing. Relying on Article 6 �� 1 and 3 (c) (right to a fair trial), he alleges, among other things, that he was framed because of a conflict with his superiors and he was convicted on the basis of fabricated or otherwise unreliable evidence; that he was not given an opportunity to effectively challenge that evidence and to effectively present arguments for consideration in his favour; and, that he was deprived of access to effective legal assistance during his initial questionings at the pre-trial stage of the criminal proceedings. 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.
