FACTS AND PROCEDURE

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

The applicants were represented by Ms E.-L. Koutra, a lawyer practising in Athens.

The applicants’ complaints under Articles 3, 13 and 14 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 were communicated to the Greek Government (“the Government”).

By their letter dated 18 June 2025 the Government invited the Court to request the applicants’ representative to submit proof of contact with the applicants and confirmation that the latter wish to pursue their application.

By letter dated 25 June 2025 the Registry invited the applicants’ representative to submit the said information by 9 July 2025. The representative’s attention was further 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.

By letter dated 9 July 2025 the applicants’ representative requested an extension of the time-limit to submit the information requested by the Registry.

By letter dated 18 July 2025, sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms), the applicants’ representative was granted an extension until 15 September 2025. The representative downloaded that letter from the eComms platform on the same day. However, no response has followed.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the application.

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

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

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

Done in English and notified in writing on 11 December 2025.
