Text of the pleading by Kevin Boyle on behalf of the applicants in the Akdeniz and others case at the merits hearing. Boyle confirms the spelling of Hüseyin Akdivar's surname and clarifies the difference between fellow applicant Ahmet Çiçek and his cousin, also named Ahmet Çiçek, who was not an applicant but still a witness. Boyle seeks to establish that destruction of villages in southeast Turkey has been a Turkish Government policy and that Akdivar and Çiçek had been coerced into signed false statements (see A44/43/1/2/1/3/3) by the Government. Includes a copy of the original draft (8pp) and copy with redactions and edits by Boyle (8pp).

Reply of the applicant in the Asker case to the further observations of the Turkish Government submitted to the European Commission of Human Rights. In the enclosing letter, Françoise Hampson reiterates concern over intimidation over continuing harassment and intimidation of the applicant by the Government due to his application. The reply highlights this interference with the individual right of petition. The reply also notes that the Government had not addressed the specific concerns of the applicant in its observations; it merely asserted that there is no policy of forced evacuation and village destruction in southeast Turkey.

Reply of the applicant to the Turkish Government's initial observations on the Beşir Taş application. The applicant states that the Government does not deal with the details of the applicant's claims beyond the general assertion that they are baseless. The applicant submits that the Government's explanation for Muhsin Taş's disappearance is implausible. The applicant also notes that 'The Government does not dispute any of the applicant's claims... ...with regard to the unlawfulness of the prolonged period of detention.'

Early draft of the applicant's response to the Turkish Government's observations concerning just satisfaction in the Buldan case (A44/43/1/19/2/19).

Applicant's response to the Turkish Government's observations concerning just satisfaction in the Buldan case, noting that nothing in the Government's newly-submitted evidence (A44/43/1/19/2/12) undermines the existing claim as nothing in the documents pertains to any events which took place before the applicant fled to Germany in 1994, and that the submissions of the evidence only serves to delay the case proceedings further. The response also notes that even if the PKK did threaten Buldan to the point where Buldan had to flee the country, the Government should have provided protection to the necessary degree to protect his life. Attached to the response are copies of previously submitted documents, annexes, and appendices which substantiate Buldan's claims for just satisfaction, including land title deeds, Buldan family business records, and Buldan's letter to Sheldon Leader of 18 September 2003.
