ALTUĞ TANER AKÇAM v. TURKEY JUDGMENT
102. The Court observes that the applicant has not submitted any
evidence to enable the Court to assess and calculate the damage suffered by
him; it therefore rejects this claim.
103. As regards the applicant’s claim for non-pecuniary damage, the
Court considers that the finding of a violation constitutes sufficient just
satisfaction in the circumstances of the present case.
104. As to the legal costs and expenses, in the absence of any quantified
claim, the Court makes no award.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT UNANIMOUSLY
1. Joins to the merits the Government’s objection concerning the
applicant’s victim status and dismisses it;
2. Declares the complaint under Article 10 admissible and the remainder of
the application inadmissible;
3. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 10 of the Convention;
4. Holds that the finding of a violation constitutes sufficient just satisfaction
in the circumstances of the present case.
5. Dismisses the remainder of the applicant’s claim for just satisfaction.
Done in English, and notified in writing on 25 October 2011, pursuant to
Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.
