Most of the applicants were members of the DTP (Party for a Democratic Society – Demokratik Toplum Partisi ), which was dissolved by the Constitutional Court in December 2009. There are also members of trade unions and non-governmental organisations, journalists and lawyers among the applicants. QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES 1.     Have the applicants exhausted all effective domestic remedies, as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention?   In particular, was individual application to the Constitutional Court an effective remedy within the meaning of this provision in respect of the applicants’ complaints under Article 5 §§ 1 and 3 of the Convention?   2.     Were the applicants deprived of their liberty in breach of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, did the investigation file (Diyarbakır public prosecutor’s office - no. 2007/996) contain facts and information which would satisfy an objective observer that the applicants might have committed the alleged offences?   3.     Was the length of the applicants’ pre-trial detention in breach of the “reasonable time” requirement of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention?   4.     Were the applicants informed promptly of the reasons for their arrest as required by Article 5 § 2 of the Convention?   5.     Did the applicants have at their disposal a remedy by which they could challenge the lawfulness of the pre-trial detention orders issued in their respect, as required by Article 5 § 4 of the Convention? In particular,   a.     Was the absence of oral hearings and the applicants’ inability to be represented in the proceedings concerning the applicants’ pre-trial detention in conformity with Article 5 § 4 of the Convention?   b.     Did the decision restricting access to investigation file no. 2007/996 have a bearing on the applicants’ exercise of the right enshrined in Article   5   §   4 of the Convention?   The Government are invited to submit a copy of the file of investigation no.   2007/996 in so far as it concerns the applicants, including all documents relating to the reasons for the applicants’ arrest, detention in police custody and pre-trial detention, as well as the file of the case brought against the applicants and their co-accused.       Appendix   No. Application No. Applicant   Date of birth     21495/10 Selma IRMAK   08/03/1971     34922/10 Takibe TURGAY   19/06/1971     46414/13 Gülcihan ŞİMŞEK   01/01/1971     46415/13 Herdem KIZILKAYA   11/08/1977     46416/13 Sara AKTAŞ   01/01/1976     46417/13 Zöhre BOZACI   04/08/1971     46418/13 Çimen IŞIK   10/12/1979     46419/13 Esma GÜLER   03/10/1973     46420/13 Hacire ÖZDEMİR   05/05/1978     46421/13 Sevi DEMİR   01/01/1974     46422/13 Pınar IŞIK   24/04/1977     46423/13 Leyla DENİZ   12/06/1978     46424/13 Yaşar SARI   22/09/1964     46425/13 Tuncay KORKMAZ   31/08/1983     46426/13 Ramazan DEBE   01/01/1981     46427/13 Osman OCAKLIK   18/04/1970     46428/13 Nejdet ATALAY   01/08/1978     46429/13 Nadir BİNGÖL   01/01/1950     46430/13 Mustafa OCAKLIK   01/01/1968     46431/13 Muharrem ERBEY   23/06/1969     46432/13 Mehmet Hatip DİCLE 04/02/1955     46433/13 Mahmut OKKAN   01/01/1970     46434/13 Fırat ANLI   06/03/1971     46435/13 Fethi SUVARİ   02/06/1961     46436/13 Ferhan TÜRK   01/08/1951     46437/13 Etem ŞAHİN   10/04/1970     46438/13 Emrullah CİN   20/06/1963     46439/13 Cibrahil KURT   01/11/1969     46440/13 Aydın BUDAK   08/04/1968     46441/13 Ali ORUÇ   01/01/1960     46442/13 Ali ŞİMŞEK   01/01/1962     46443/13 Ahmet MAKAS   01/01/1956     46444/13 Abdurahim TANRIVERDİ   30/01/1967     46445/13 Abdullah AKENGİN   01/02/1971   46446/13 Abbas ÇELİK   23/02/1971     46447/13 Leyla GÜVEN   06/05/1964     46448/13 Alaattin AKTAŞ   02/01/1956     46449/13 Hacı ERDEMİR   03/04/1966     46450/13 Hüseyin BAYRAK   21/03/1969     46451/13 Abdullah DEMİRBAŞ   06/05/1966     46452/13 Turan GENÇ   20/10/1976     46453/13 Mehmet TARİ   01/01/1967     46454/13 Sebahattin DİNÇ   01/01/1958     46455/13 Kutbettin KURT   01/01/1968   46456/13 Kerem DURUK   01/06/1969     46457/13 Hasan Hüseyin EBEM   12/09/1961     46458/13 Fadile BAYRAM   10/09/1982     46459/13 Ercan AKYOL   27/04/1971     46460/13 Bahri ÇEKEN   15/06/1978     46461/13 Zülküf KARATEKİN   01/01/1965     46462/13 Zeynel MAT   29/08/1976     46463/13 Temer TANRIKULU   01/04/1977   46464/13 Senanik ÖNER   03/01/1952     46465/13 Ramazan MORKOÇ   01/02/1967     46466/13 Salih AKDOĞAN   01/01/1981     46467/13 Musa FARİSOĞULLARI   01/02/1956     46468/13 Mehmet AKIN   08/04/1971     46469/13 Mehmet ABBASOĞLU   10/06/1955     46470/13 Lütfi DAĞ   01/01/1977     46471/13 Kemal AKTAŞ   01/08/1958     46472/13 Hüseyin YILMAZ   20/10/1956     46473/13 Hasan İNATÇI   22/08/1977     46474/13 Ercan SEZGİN   01/01/1975     46475/13 Engin KOTAY   20/04/1981     46476/13 Celal YOLDAŞ   01/01/1956     46477/13 Bayram ALTUN   01/03/1974     46478/13 Şinasi TUR   30/01/1971     46479/13 Alican ÖNLÜ   27/12/1967     46480/13 Ahmet ZİREK   01/01/1961     46481/13 Ünal Ahmet ÇELEN   30/08/1961     46482/13 Ahmet BİRSİN   01/01/1968     46483/13 Nadir YILDIRIM   01/04/1981     46484/13 Kamuran YÜKSEK   01/01/1980     46485/13 Siracettin IRMAK   01/07/1980     46486/13 Pelgüzar KAYĞISIZ   20/08/1970     46487/13 Zeynep BOĞA   03/02/1966     46488/13 Zahide BESİ   09/01/1974     46489/13 Ebrü GÜNAY   29/01/1982     46490/13 Besime KONCA   20/02/1970     46491/13 Elif KAYA   02/10/1969     46492/13 Dirayet TAŞDEMİR   18/04/1979     46493/13 Nihayet TAŞDEMİR   18/04/1979     46494/13 Olcay KANLIBAŞ   09/08/1971     46495/13 Musa ÇİFTÇİ   18/01/1976     46496/13 Rahmi ÖZMEN   01/02/1980     46497/13 Mehmet Nimet SEVİM   01/01/1968     46498/13 Mazlum TEKDAĞ   01/01/1984     46499/13 Hasan ÜNER   20/06/1978     46500/13 Hasan IRAZ   12/12/1978     46501/13 Arslan ÖZDEMİR   01/09/1965     46502/13 Heval ERDEMLİ   24/08/1976     46503/13 Roza ERDEDE   02/03/1981     46504/13 Pero DÜNDAR   20/01/1971     46505/13 Adnan BAYRAM   10/03/1955     46506/13 Hüseyin KALKAN   20/09/1962     46507/13 Kazım KURT   13/02/1966     46508/13 Nizamettin ONAR   02/02/1972     46509/13 Veysi AKAR   22/08/1980     46510/13 İhsan SEVİKTEK   09/03/1974              46511/13 Seyithan ŞEN   01/05/1971              46512/13 Garip KANDEMİR   06/04/1976              46513/13 Şeyhmus BAYHAN   01/01/1975              46514/13 Ahmet ERTAK   01/01/1965
