While the applicant remains in detention, on 7 December 2025 he was transferred to Nicosia Central Prisons. Relying on Article 3 of the Convention the applicant complains of his conditions of detention at Lakatamia Police Detention Centre only. He claims that the said centre was not designed for long-term detention, during his detention there he had no access to natural light and fresh air, as there were no windows in his cell, and there was no outdoor space for exercise. He further points to the absence of washing machines, having to rely either on relatives to wash his clothes, or having to wash and hang-dry his clothes in his cell, exacerbating ventilation issues. Lastly, he complains under Article   13 of the Convention of the absence of an effective remedy in respect of his complaints.     QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Did the material conditions of the applicant’s detention amount to inhuman or degrading treatment (see Muršić v. Croatia [GC], no.   7334/13, §§   96-101, 20 October 2016; S.Z. v. Greece , no. 66702/13, § 40, 21   June 2018 with further references)?   2.     Did the applicant have at his disposal an effective domestic remedy for his complaints, as required by Article 13 of the Convention (see Ananyev and Others v. Russia , nos. 42525/07 and 60800/08, § 97, 10 January 2012 and Danilczuk v. Cyprus , no. 21318/12, §§ 39-47, 3 April 2018)?
