The authorities dismissed the applicant’s requests on the basis of Article   8 of the Regulation on Materials and Articles in Prison and Articles   11 and 12 of the Directive on Libraries and Bookshelves in Prison. Relying on Article 10 of the Convention, the applicant complains of the prison administration’s refusal to pass on the newspapers in question. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Has there been an interference with the applicant’s freedom of expression, in particular his right to receive information and ideas, within the meaning of Article 10 § 1 of the Convention, on account of the prison authorities’ refusal to hand over the newspapers to him (see Mehmet Çiftçi v.   Turkey , no. 53208/19, §§   32-33, 16 November 2021 and Osman and Altay v.   Türkiye , nos. 23782/20 and 40731/20, §§ 40-41, 18 July 2023)?   2.     If so, was that interference prescribed by law and necessary in terms of Article   10 §   2? In particular, and bearing in mind also the considerations outlined in the Constitutional Court’s relevant case-law (see Mustafa Koca , no.   2021/38039, 26 July 2022), did the national authorities and courts adequately balance the applicant’s right to freedom of expression against other interests at stake in accordance with the principles enshrined in Article   10 of the Convention (see Mehmet Çiftçi , cited above, §§   34-45)?
