Salih Orhan is a Turkish national of Kurdish origin born in 1955. The case concerns the destruction of his village, the detention and disappearance of his two brothers, Selim and Hasan Orhan, and his son, Cezayir Orhan, and the ensuing investigations.
The applicant relied on Article 2 3, 5, 8, 13, 14, 18 and 34 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 1 of Protocol No.1.
The Court judged that there was a violation of Article 2, 3, 5, 8 and 13, whereas the Court also believed that due to the violation of the other articles, it was no longer necessary to consider complaints under Article 14 and 18. The Court did not consider article 34 as it failed to comply to the rules and regulations attached to it.
