termine whether the force used had been proportionate. First, the 3 police officers admmitted having<br />

used force and striking Mr. Cakir, and said that the crowd wad involved. Therefore a lot of blows<br />

have been given from this crowd who had taken mister Cakir's side. However the Court are no so<br />

The government claims the police officers do not agree with statements is applicant, and strongly<br />

contest those. Furthermore the applicant could not prove these discriminations.<br />

The applicant responds it is too difficult to get some evidence, because the insults happened in the<br />

police's car.<br />

The Court considers that the Crown Prosecutor does not give his opinion in his submissions inviting<br />

the judge's chambers about insults from the police officers. So the Court considers that the Belgian<br />

The Court considers that it was unnecessary to examine separately the complaints under Article 13<br />

and Article 6§1.<br />

E.4. Procedure and composition of the Court:<br />

Judgment was given by a Chamber of seven judges, composed as follows: Ireneu Cabral Barreto<br />

(Portugal), President, Françoise Tulkens (Belgium), Vladimiro Zagrebelsky (Italy), Danutė Jočienė<br />

(Lithuania), Dragoljub Popović (Serbia), András Sajó (Hungary), Nona Tsotsoria (Georgia), judg-<br />
