Scope and content
Published judgment in the Şükran Aydın case (A44/43/1/14). On 25 September 1997, the European Court of Human Rights dismissed the Government’s objections regarding the exhaustion of domestic remedies (18 votes to 3) and abuse of process (unanimously). The Court held that Şükran Aydın had been subjected to torture through being raped and otherwise ill-treated contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (14 votes to 7); that she had noted been afforded an effective remedy in respect to her complaint contrary to Article 13 (16 votes to 5); that no violation of Article 25 § 1 had been established (unanimously); and that it was not necessary to consider the remainder of the complaints. The Court held 18 votes to 3 that Turkey should pay the applicant £25,000 sterling in non-pecuniary damages, and 16 votes to 5 that Turkey should pay Şükran Aydın’s United Kingdom-based legal representatives £34,360 sterling less 19,145 French francs, and her Turkish representatives £3,000 sterling.
