Relying on Article 3 of the Convention, the applicants complain of overcrowding and other conditions of detention, in particular the absence of sufficient individual sleeping places. The applicants also complain, under Article 8 of the Convention, about the impugned restrictions on weekend visits. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Have the conditions of the applicants’ detention, in particular, the personal space in view of the number of prisoners placed in the same multi-occupancy units allegedly without sufficient individual sleeping places, amounted to inhuman or degrading treatment in breach of Article 3 of the Convention (see İlerde and Others v.   Türkiye , nos. 35614/19 and 10   others, §§ 169-99, 5 December 2023; Muršić v. Croatia [GC], no. 7334/13, §§   136 ‑ 40, 20   October 2016; Rezmiveș and Others v. Romania , nos.   61467/12 and 3   others, §§   71 ‑ 77, 25 April 2017; Ananyev and Others v.   Russia , nos.   42525/07 and 60800/08, §§ 139-48, 10 January 2012; and Gusev v.   Russia , no. 67542/01, §§ 57-59, 15 May 2008)?   The Government are invited to submit information and documents concerning the conditions of detention in the prison where the applicants are/were being held. This information should in particular demonstrate the period of time, surface and capacity of the units in which the applicants are/were held and the number of detainees in them, having regard to the calculation method applied in İlerde and Others (cited above, §§ 173-76), and the availability of individual sleeping places.   2.     Has there been an interference with the applicants’ right to respect for their private and family life, within the meaning of Article 8 § 1 of the Convention, on account of the impugned restrictions on weekend visits (see Subaşı and Others v. Türkiye , nos. 3468/20 and 18 others, §§ 77-79, 6   December 2022)?   If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary in terms of Article 8 § 2 of the Convention? In particular, did the domestic authorities make a concrete assessment of the applicants’ needs and engage with their complaints in accordance with the guarantees inherent in Article   8 of the Convention (ibid., §§ 80-93)?   APPENDIX   List of applications   No. Application no.
