The applicant Ilja Šmigol is a stateless person who was born in 1993 and lives in Tallinn.   The case concerns consecutive enforcement of disciplinary punishments against the applicants when   they were serving sentences in Viru Prison. This resulted in their spending protracted periods in   conditions that effectively amounted to solitary confinement.   The applicants complain that the periods they spent in solitary confinement violated their rights   under Article 3 (prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment) of the European Convention on   Human Rights.   Violation of Article 3   Just satisfaction:   non-pecuniary damage: 12,500 euros (EUR) to the first applicant and EUR 8,300 to the second   applicant   costs and expenses: EUR 1,900 to the second applicant   Nadir Yıldırım and Others v.

During the three-month period following a Chamber   judgment’s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a   panel of five judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and   deliver a final judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the   Convention, judgments delivered by a Committee are final.   Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution.   Further information about the execution process can be found here: www.coe.int/t/dghl/monitoring/execution   The applicants allege that in a criminal case brought against them  at the same time as which they   were elected as members of the Turkish Grand National Assembly , the president of the trial court   stated in the investigatory reports drawn up for the lifting of their parliamentary immunity that they   had committed the offences that they were accused of.   The applicants complain of a breach of their right to be presumed innocent under Article 6 § 2 of the   European Convention.   Violation of Article 6 § 2   Just satisfaction:   non-pecuniary damage: EUR 7,800 to each applicant   costs and expenses: EUR 2,000 to the applicants jointly   This press release is a document produced by the Registry.
