The applicants’ complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention after conviction were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”). THE LAW Joinder of the applications Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision. Complaints under Article 3 of the Convention (inadequate conditions of detention after conviction) The applicants complained about the conditions of their detention in correctional colony no.   IK-56 in Sverdlovsk Region. In particular, they referred to allegedly degrading treatment relating to the lack of water-supply and sewage systems and the absence of proper sanitary installations in the cells. The Government submitted their observations, disputing the violations alleged. On 10 January 2020 the Government submitted additional information about the new Compensation Act and asked to treat it as a new remedy in respect of conditions of detention complaints under Articles 3 of the Convention (compare Shmelev and Others v. Russia (dec.), no.   41743/17   and 16 others, 17 March 2020). Having examined the material submitted, the Court notes that it has already established that the Compensation Act, as pointed out by the Government, affords the applicants an opportunity to obtain compensatory redress in respect of their prima facie well-founded complaints about breach of their rights by improper conditions of detention in correctional colony no.   IK-56 in Sverdlovsk Region (see Belyayev and Others v. Russia (dec.) [Committee], nos. 41102/16 and 29 others, 9   July 2020). Accordingly, the applicants should exhaust this remedy before their complaints can be examined by the Court. It follows that their complaints, as listed in the appended table, under Article 3 of the Convention should be declared inadmissible pursuant to Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to join the applications; Declares the applications inadmissible. Done in English and notified in writing on 15 December 2022.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Darian Pavli   Acting Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX List of applications raising complaints under Article   3 of the Convention (inadequate conditions of detention after conviction) No. Application no.
