The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Mr   G. Matyushkin, the Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights. The applicants complained under Article 3 of the Convention about the conditions of their detention in Russian penitentiary facilities. By their letter dated 13 April 2012, the Government informed the Court that they proposed to make a declaration with a view to resolving the issue raised by the applications. They acknowledged that the applicants had been “detained in the conditions which did not comply with the requirements of Article 3 of the Convention” and stated their readiness to pay the following amounts to the applicants as just satisfaction: 4,000 euros (EUR) to Mr   Pekalin and EUR 4,000 to Mr Dudenko. The payment was to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage, together with any costs and expenses incurred, as well as any tax that may be chargeable. It would be effected within a period of three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay within that period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on it, from expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points. The payment would constitute the final resolution of the cases. In their letters of 31 May and 20 July 2012, the applicants informed the Court that they agreed to the terms of the Government’s declarations. THE LAW Having regard to the similarity of the main issues under the Convention in the above cases, the Court decides to join the applications and examine them in a single decision. The Court considers that the applicants’ express agreement to the terms of the declarations made by the Government shall be considered as a friendly settlement between the parties (see Cēsnieks v. Latvia (dec.), no.   9278/06, § 34, 6 March 2012, and Bakal and Others v. Turkey (dec.), no.   8243/08, 5 June 2012). The Court therefore takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the applications. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court unanimously Decides to join the applications, Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.   André Wampach   Peer Lorenzen   Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX     No Application No Lodged on Applicant Date of birth Place of residence Represented by   56167/08 20/09/2008 Konstantin Mikhaylovich PEKALIN 16/11/1987 Rubtsovsk   Oksana Vladimirovna PREOBRAZHENSKAYA   58846/09 23/12/2009 Sergey Vladimirovich DUDENKO 03/11/1976 Abakan
