The applications concern, in particular, the alleged interference with the applicants’ right to freedom of peaceful assembly and/or their right to freedom of expression. Most cases concern the applicants’ participation in demonstrations in Crimea between 2014-2019 with a view to expressing their pro-Ukrainian position or protesting against various prosecutions brought against Tatars by the Russian authorities in Crimea. Each of the applicants was charged with various breaches of the procedure applicable under Russian law in respect to the conduct of public events. In some cases, the applicants were arrested and taken to police stations. Following the examination of their cases by Russian courts, the applicants were convicted of administrative offences and sentenced either to fines in various amounts, or to administrative detention. Relying on Articles 10 and/or 11 of the Convention, they complain that their convictions for staging demonstrations breached their right to freedom of assembly and/or freedom of expression. In some of the applications, namely in applications nos. 52929/18, 17028/19, 21664/20 and 23327/21, the applicants complain of a breach of Article 11 of the Convention on account of the refusals of   the Russian authorities to grant them authorisation to hold demonstrations, thereby preventing them from exercising their right to freedom of assembly. In addition, in applications nos. 57665/16, 61583/17, 61791/17, 39983/18, 41321/18, 35089/20 and 53755/20, the applicants complain that their arrests, transfers to police stations and, where relevant, their administrative detention in connection with their participation in demonstrations were   contrary to the guarantees of Article 5 of the Convention. Lastly, all the applicants, except for the applicants in applications nos.   45911/15, 45913/15, 47032/17, 52929/18, 17028/19, 21664/20, 2672/21 and 23327/21, allege that the administrative proceedings brought against them in connection with their participation in demonstrations fell short of the guarantees of a fair hearing including, inter alia , the principles of equality of arms and lawfulness, independence and impartiality of a “tribunal”. They rely on Article 6 of the Convention in this regard. QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANTS AND THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT 1.     Have the applicants complied with the admissibility requirements set forth in Article   35   §   1 of the Convention?   2.     In applications nos. 57665/16, 61583/17, 61791/17, 39983/18, 41321/18, 35089/20 and 53755/20,   were the applicants deprived of their liberty in breach of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, was the impugned deprivation of liberty lawful and necessary within the meaning of that Article (see Navalnyy v. Russia   [GC], nos.   29580/12 and 4 others, §§   71-72, 15 November 2018)?   3.     Having regard to the allegations made by the applicants in respect of the administrative proceedings, did the applicants in applications nos. 70557/14, 73977/14, 3631/15, 58391/15, 57665/16, 16784/17, 32824/17, 33119/17, 34127/17, 61583/17, 61791/17, 37044/18, 37051/18, 37056/18, 37060/18, 37066/18, 37101/18, 37105/18, 37109/18, 37112/18, 37117/18, 37215/18, 37223/18, 37239/18, 37245/18, 37318/18, 37326/18, 37330/18, 37334/18, 37339/18, 37340/18, 37343/18, 37350/18, 37354/18, 38051/18, 39983/18, 40705/18, 40846/18, 41066/18, 41152/18, 41261/18, 41321/18, 41994/18, 35089/20, and 53755/20 have a fair hearing in the determination of the criminal charges against them, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, were the applicants’ cases dealt with by impartial tribunals established by law? Did the absence of a prosecuting party in the relevant proceedings entail a violation of the principles of equality of arms, adversarial procedure and impartiality under Article   6 § 1 of the Convention (in this connection, see Karelin v.   Russia , no. 926/08, §§ 69-85, 20   September 2016)?” 4.     In respect of all applicants, except for the applicants in application no.   73977/14, who did not invoke the relevant Convention provision, has there been an interference with the applicants’   right to freedom of peaceful assembly within the meaning of Article   11 §   1 of the Convention? If so, was that interference justified under Article 11   §   2 of the Convention?   5.     As regards application no. 2672/21, did the applicant suffer discrimination on the grounds of religion and/or ethnic and national origin, contrary to Article 14 of the Convention in conjunction with Article   11? QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANTS AND THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT IN APPLICATIONS NOS. 45911/15 AND 45913/15 1.     Have the applicants in these two applications complied with the admissibility requirements set forth in Article   35   §   1 of the Convention?   2.     Has there been an interference with the applicants’   right to freedom of peaceful assembly within the meaning of Article   11 §   1 of the Convention in these two applications? If so, was that interference justified under Article   11 §   2 of the Convention?   APPENDIX No. Application no.
