The domestic courts, recognising that such a practice had been unlawful, awarded him 1,500 euros (EUR) as compensation. The applicant, referring to the inadequate amount of compensation, complains of a violation of his rights under Article 3 of the Convention. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     In view of the outcome of the domestic proceedings, can the applicant still claim to be a victim of a violation of the Convention, within the meaning of Article   34?   2.     Has the applicant been subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, in breach of Article   3 of the Convention, in view of his prolonged solitary confinement (see Gorbulya v. Russia , no. 31535/09, §§   74-81, 6 March 2014; Razvyazkin v. Russia , no. 13579/09, §§ 97-108, 3   July 2012; Csüllög v. Hungary , no. 30042/08, §§ 27-38, 7 June 2011)?
