issued by the Registrar of the Court ECHR 202 (2024) 05.09.2024 Forthcoming judgments and decisions The European Court of Human Rights will be notifying in writing three judgments on Tuesday 10 September 2024 and 45 judgments and / or decisions on Thursday 12 September 2024. 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 10 September 2024 Dianova and Others v. Russia (applications nos. 21286/15, 13140/16, 13162/16, 20802/16, and 24703/16) The applicants, Olga Dianova, Anastasiya Sheveleva, Leonid Mikhaylov, Roman Roslovtsev, and Valeriya Zenyakina, are five Russian nationals who live in Yekaterinburg, Moscow and Novomoskovsk. The case concerns a hunger strike by Ms Dianova in Yekaterinburg in protest against the treatment of a prisoner in correctional colony IK-63 in Ivdel (Sverdlovsk Region). It also concerns the other four applicants' making a satirical film about Russian President Vladimir Putin in Vorobyovy Gory Park in Moscow and their subsequent arrest. Administrative-offence proceedings were taken against all the applicants. Relying on Articles 10 (freedom of expression), 11 (freedom of assembly and association), 5 (right to liberty and security), 6 (right to a fair trial) and 13 (right to an effective remedy) of the European Convention on Human Rights, the applicants complain, in particular, of the police actions to end the hunger strike and the filmmaking, and the subsequent administrative-offence proceedings. Thursday 12 September 2024 Longo v. Italy (no. 35780/18) The applicant, Cesare Longo, is an Italian national who was born in 1946 and lives in Balestrate (Palermo, Italy). In 1997 Mr Longo was found guilty of the unauthorised construction of a 200 sq. m agricultural warehouse. The case concerns a demolition order issued as part of the judgment. Mr Longo unsuccessfully appealed to the Palermo Court of Appeal against enforcement of that order in 2016. A subsequent appeal of points of law was rejected by the Court of Cassation. Relying on Articles 6 � 1 (right to a fair trial) and 7 (no punishment without law) of the European Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the Convention, Mr Longo complains of the national courts' failure to characterise the demolition order as a penalty, and of a disproportionate interference with his property rights. Melandri v. San Marino (no. 25189/21) The applicant, Vincenzo Secondo Melandri, is an Italian national who was born in 1969 and lives in Russi (Italy). The case concerns the depositing of over 5 million euros in cash and cheques from 2009 into an account with a San Marinese bank of Mr Melandri along with alleged fraudulent transactions by a wine company traceable to Mr Melandri. This prompted a money-laundering investigation, leading to a final criminal conviction in San Marino. He received a prison sentence of four years and three months and had a number of assets confiscated. Relying on Article 6 �� 1 and 3 (a) and (b) (right to a fair trial) and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property), Mr Melandri complains, in particular, that he was unable to defend himself as he had been charged with money laundering not self-laundering, and that the confiscation order was disproportionate. 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.
