Item 1 - Appl. No 23145/93 Applicants' Reply to Observations of Turkish Government

2pp

Response of the applicants to the observations of the Turkish Government on the application of Elçi and others to the European Commission of Human Rights. The reply notes that the Government only responded to observations on the admissibility and merits of the application under Articles 3 and 25 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as some observations on Article 1 of Protocol 1, but did not address the totality of the violations alleged in the application. The reply also notes that Tahir Elçi's confiscated files pertaining to domestic cases were returned but files pertaining to other applications pending with the Commission were not returned. The reply also states that systemic intimidation makes domestic remedy so ineffective as to be disregarded. The reply concludes by asking for the Government's observations to be declared ill-founded and for the application to be declared admissible.
