Published judgment in the Mehmet Timurtaş case. On 13 June 2000, the European Court of Human Rights ruled: that Turkey was liable for the death of Abdulvahap Timurtaş in violation of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (6 votes to 1); that there had been violations of Article 3 and 13 (6 votes to 1); that there had been a violation of Article 5 (unanimous); and that Turkey not failed to comply with its obligations under Article 34 in fine of the Convention (unanimous). The Turkish Government were ordered to pay Mehmet Timurtaş £20,000 sterling in non-pecuniary damages with respect to his son, £10,000 sterling in non-pecuniary damages with respect to himself, and £20,000 sterling in legal fees and expenses (less 10,245.06 French francs received in legal aid).
