According to the applicant, she had been unlawfully detained, harassed and ill-treated by police officers, following which she had lodged a complaint before the prosecuting authorities. After questioning the applicant and the police officers, by a decision dated 25 December 2015, the prosecuting authorities refused to open a criminal investigation. The applicant’s complaints against that decision lodged before the domestic courts were unsuccessful. The applicant complains under Article 3 of the Convention that she was subjected to ill-treatment by the police during her unlawful detention and that the domestic authorities failed to conduct an effective investigation in that regard.     QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Has the applicant been subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment, in breach of Article   3 of the Convention?   2.     Having regard to the procedural protection from inhuman or degrading treatment (see Labita v.   Italy [GC], no.   26772/95, § 131, ECHR 2000-IV), was the investigation in the present case by the domestic authorities in breach of Article   3 of the Convention?   The Government are requested to submit copies of all documents concerning the investigation into the alleged ill-treatment (complaints, decisions and other relevant documents).
