PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 24202/05) against the Russian Federation lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by a national of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr Tudzhar Ali ogly Veliyev on 27 June 2005.
2. The applicant was represented by Mr F.V. Bagryanskiy, Mr M.V. Ovchinnikov and Mr A.V. Mikhaylov, lawyers practising in the town of Vladimir. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr P. Laptev and Ms V. Milinchuk, former Representatives of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights, and subsequently by their Representative, Mr G. Matyushkin.
3. The applicant alleged, in particular, that the conditions of his detention during criminal proceedings had been appalling, that his detention on remand had been unlawful, too lengthy and otherwise irregular, and that the criminal proceedings against him had been too lengthy.
4. On 15 January 2008 the President of the First Section decided to give notice of the application to the Government. It was also decided to examine the merits of the application at the same time as its admissibility (Article 29 § 3).
