The applicants were represented by Mr Daci and Mr Cron, lawyers practicing in Geneva. The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented initially by Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Court of Human Rights, and then by his successor in that office, Mr M. Galperin. In 2013-14 the applicants lodged notices of forty-nine LGBT public assemblies indicated in the Appendix. In each instance the local authorities refused to approve the dates and locations proposed by the applicants, who challenged these decisions in the domestic courts under Chapter 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The domestic courts upheld the decisions of the local authorities. The judicial decisions in every case were taken after the respective dates of the originally proposed assemblies. The dates of the authorities’ refusals and the final domestic decisions are indicated in the Appendix II. By letter dated 14 March 2020 the first applicant informed the Registry that he wanted to withdraw his application as he was no longer interested in pursuing any of his cases pending before the Court. COMPLAINTS The applicants complained of the ban on holding LGBT assemblies and of the discriminatory manner in which the national authorities treated their applications to hold these events. They also complained of the absence of effective domestic remedies in respect of the alleged violations of their right to freedom of assembly. They relied, expressly or in substance, on Articles   11, 13 and   14 of the Convention. THE LAW The Court takes note of the first applicant’s request to withdraw his application. In the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention or its Protocols, the Court, in accordance with Article   37   §   1   (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of his application. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list the part of the application relating to the first applicant. As regards the remainder of the application, the Court refers to its finding in Alekseyev and Others v. Russia (nos. 14988/09 and 50 others, §§ 14-16, 27 November 2018). It found that in relation to the complaints identical to those lodged in the present case about the discriminatory ban on holding LGBT public events that the applicants should have introduced them to the Court within six months, calculated from the date of the administrative decision not to approve each respective event, or the date of its receipt. In the present cases, the Court observes that the applicants complain about the decisions of local authorities to refuse to approve the dates and the venues of various LGBT public events in 2013-14. It furthermore notes that in all cases the applicants challenged these decisions in the domestic courts after the dates of the planned events, as indicated in the Appendix II. Their applications were lodged in 2015 each time more than six months from the date of the administrative decision not to approve each respective event. It follows that their complaints are lodged out of time and must be rejected, in accordance with Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in so far as the first applicant is concerned; Declares the remainder of the application inadmissible in accordance with Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention. Done in English and notified in writing on 3 September 2020.   Olga Chernishova   Alena Poláčková   Deputy Registrar   President Appendix I No. Applicant’s Name Birth date Nationality Place of residence 1 Nikolay Aleksandrovich ALEKSEYEV 1977 Russian, Swiss Moscow 2 Irina Nikolayevna ALEKSEYEVA 1941 Russian Moscow 3 Sofya Andreyevna MIKHAYLOVA 1986 Russian Kemerovo 4 Kirill Sergeyevich NEPOMNYASHCHIY 1981 Russian Moscow 5 Maria RUMYANTSEVA 1986 Russian Kostroma 6 Yaroslav Nikolayevich YEVTUSHENKO 1994 Russian Moscow Appendix II No. Applicants Date of local authorities’ decision / date of complaint to the Court Public Event Final Domestic Decision Proposed Theme Date Court Date 1.
