Applicant in application no. 50083/19 points, in particular, that her son had had two suicide attempts before the last one mainly due to coercion and ill ‑ treatment at the hands of the prison authorities and that, whilst being fully aware of the risk, the prison administration did nothing to prevent her son from harming himself. She relies on Article 3 of the Convention insofar as she alleges her son to have been ill-treated. Applicant in application no. 20899/20 points at a very probable ill-treatment of her son prior to his death and deplores the negligent behaviour of the prison administration, which knew about the risk and did nothing to protect him. The relevant details regarding the applicants’ allegations and their version of factual circumstances are reflected in the attached appendices. The information regarding the alleged breach of the substantive aspects of Article 2 of the Convention is contained in Appendix No. 1. The reaction of the domestic authorities to the applicants’ complaints is reflected in Appendix   No. 2. Table of cases:   No. Case name Application no.
