The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention were communicated to the Portuguese Government (“the Government”). THE LAW In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that for the reasons stated below, the complaints about the conditions of detention are inadmissible. Conditions of detention in Izeda Prison The applicant was detained in different prison facilities. On 28   December 2017 he was transferred to Izeda Prison. Having regard to all the available material and the parties arguments, the Court finds that it cannot establish that the applicant suffered in that prison facility from severe overcrowding of the kind that could entail, in its own, a violation of Article 3 (see Muršić v. Croatia [GC], no.   7334/13, 20   October 2016) nor can it be found that the cumulative effect of the other aspects of the detention which the applicant complained about reached the threshold of severity required to characterise the treatment as inhumane or degrading within the meaning of Article 3 (see Bokor v. Portugal , (dec.) no.   5227/18, §   34, 10 December 2020). It follows that the complaints concerning this period of detention in Izeda Prison (for further details see the appended table) are manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 a) and 4 of the Convention. Conditions of detention before the transfer to Izeda Prison In light of the conclusion above, the Court finds that the applicant’s transfer to Izeda Prison on 28 December 2017 interrupted the “continuous situation” of his conditions of detention. Therefore, the applicant’s complaints concerning his conditions of detention prior to that prison transfer are belated (see Ananyev and Others v. Russia , nos. 42525/07 and 60800/08, §§   75-78, 10 January 2012). Accordingly, these complaints must be rejected in accordance with Article 35   §§ 1 and   4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Declares the application inadmissible. Done in English and notified in writing on 18 January 2024.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Faris Vehabović   Acting Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX Application raising complaints under Article   3 of the Convention (inadequate conditions of detention) Application no.
