32 L.M. AND OTHERS v. RUSSIA JUDGMENT 136. In view of the above and in the light of all the material in its possession, the Court finds that the applicants’ complaint under Article 3 about the conditions of detention does not disclose any appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms set out in the Convention or its Protocols. It follows that this part of the application is manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 (a) and 4 of the Convention. IV. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE CONVENTION 137. The applicants complained of a violation of Article 5 § 1 (f) and 5 § 4. Article 5 of the Convention reads as follows, where relevant: “1. Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be deprived of his liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law: ... (f) the lawful arrest or detention of a person to prevent his effecting an unauthorised entry into the country or of a person against whom action is being taken with a view to deportation or extradition. ... 4. Everyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings by which the lawfulness of his detention shall be decided speedily by a court and his release ordered if the detention is not lawful. ...” A. Admissibility 138. The Court notes that this part of the application is not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 (a) of the Convention. It further notes that it is not inadmissible on any other grounds. It must therefore be declared admissible. B. Merits 139. The Court will consider firstly whether the possibility of effective supervision over the applicants’ detention existed and, secondly, whether their detention was compatible with the requirements of Article 5 § 1 (f) (see Kim, cited above, § 38, and Azimov v. Russia, no. 67474/11, §§ 146 et seq., 18 April 2013). 1. Compliance with Article 5 § 4 of the Convention 140. The applicants stressed that they had no access to effective judicial review of their continued detention. The Government disputed that argument.
