The Bulgarian Government (“the Government”) were given notice of the applicants’ complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the allegedly inhuman and degrading conditions of their detention. The Court received friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Bulgaria in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts set out in the appended table. These amounts would be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of a failure to pay the amounts within that three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them, from the 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 parties agreed that such payment would constitute the final resolution of the cases. THE LAW In view of the similar subject-matter of the applications, it is appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision. The Court takes note of the friendly settlements reached between the parties. It is satisfied that those settlements are based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto, and finds no reasons to justify the continued examination of the applications. It is hence appropriate to strike the cases out of the Court’s list. 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 § 3 of the Convention. Done in English and notified in writing on 23 June 2022.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Armen Harutyunyan   Acting Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX List of applications raising complaints under Article 3 of the Convention (inhuman and degrading conditions of detention) No. Application no.
