PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 10638/08) 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 Russian national, Mr Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Alekhin ("the applicant"), on 24 January 2008.
2. The applicant was represented by Mr S. Vasilyev, a lawyer practising in St Petersburg. The Russian Government ("the Government") were initially represented by Ms V. Milinchuk, former Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights, and subsequently by their Representative, Mr G. Matyushkin.
3. The applicant alleged that he had not received adequate medical care in the remand centre, that he had been transported in inhuman conditions, that his detention pending trial had been excessively long and had not been attended by appropriate procedural guarantees, that he had no enforceable right to compensation for his detention in contravention of Article 5 §§ 3 and 4, that the criminal proceedings against him had been excessively long, that family visits had been restricted, and that he had not had adequate remedies at his disposal for the above complaints.
4. On 26 March 2008 the President of the First Section decided to communicate the application to the Government.
