of the Convention in respect of political opponents of the regime in the

declared admissible (paragraph 335);
2. Holds unanimously that no violation of the rights of Turkish Cypriots
who are opponents of the regime in northern Cyprus under Articles 3, 5,

to protect their rights under these Articles (paragraph 348);
3. Holds by sixteen votes to one that no violation of the rights of members

administrative practice, including an alleged practice of failing to protect
their rights under these Articles (paragraph 353);

of the Convention on account of the legislative practice of authorising
the trial of civilians by military courts (paragraph 359);

been established by reason of an alleged practice of restricting the right
of Turkish Cypriots living in northern Cyprus to receive information

been established by reason of an alleged practice of interference with the
