The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.

By letters, dated as indicated in the appended table, sent by registered post, the applicants were requested to provide information concerning further developments in their respective cases. The applicants’ 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. However, no replies from the applicants were received to the Registry’s letters.

THE LAW

Accordingly, the cases should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to join the applications;

Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
