000830 Application include the following: imprisonment, being lay without the benefit of legal assistance, indigence, illiteracy, lack of awareness of the existence of the court, intimidation and fear of reprisals and the use of extraordinary remedies.e 51. ln the present matter, the court notes that the court of Appeal dismissed the Applicant's appeal on g April 2003 and that the Applicant filed this Applieation on 16 september 2015. The court further notes that the Respondent state deposited its Declaration under Article 34(6) on 29 March 2010, allowing individuals and non-governmental organisations to directly access the Court. ln total, therefore, the Applicant filed this Application five (5) years and six (6) months after the Respondent State deposited its Declaration. The question that remains, therefore, is whether, in the circumstances of the case, the period of five (5) years and six (6) months is reasonable. 52. The court notes that in Amiri Ramadhani v tJnited Repubtic of ranzanialo and Christopher Jonas v United Republic of Tanzaniall it held that the period of five (5) years and one (1) month was reasonable owing to the circumstances of the Applicants. ln these cases, the Court took into consideration the fact that the Applicants were imprisoned, restricted in their movements and with limited access to information; they were lay, indigent, did not have the assistance of a lawyer in their trials at the domestic court, were illiterate and were not aware of the existence of the court. Again, in werema wangoko and another v. tJnited Republic of ranzania,l2 the court decided that the Applicants, having used the review procedure, were entifled to wait for the review judgment to be delivered and that this justified the filing of their Application flve (5) years and five (5) months after exhaustion of local remedies. e Application No. 015/2015.
