PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 20571/04) 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 Orlan Kan-oolovich Lamazhyk ("the applicant"), on 12 April 2004.
2. The applicant was represented by Mr S. Damdyn, a lawyer practising in the town of Kyzyl, Tyva Republic. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr P. Laptev and Mrs V. Milinchuk, former Representatives of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
3. The applicant alleged, in particular, that his detention on remand had been unlawful and excessively long, that the domestic courts had delayed examination of detention issues and that the criminal case against him had not been examined within a reasonable time.
4. On 14 November 2006 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).
5. The Government objected to the joint examination of the admissibility and merits of the application. Having examined the Government's objection, the Court dismissed it.

THE FACTS

I. The circumstances of the case

6. The applicant was born in 1974 and lived until his arrest in the town of Kyzyl in the Tyva Republic of the Russian Federation.

A. Institution of criminal proceedings
and the applicant's arrest

7. On 21 January 2000 criminal proceedings were instituted against the applicant on suspicion of several counts of aggravated robbery. On the following day he was arrested. Three days later, however, his release was authorised on condition that he did not leave his town of residence.
8. On 3 March 2000 the head of the investigative unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Tyva Republic authorised the applicant's arrest in a decision which, in so far as relevant, read:
"On the night of 20 - 21 January 2000, at approximately midnight, [the applicant], who is unemployed, acting with mercenary intent for the purpose of stealing another's property, in collusion with Mr O. and unidentified persons, arrived by car... at the village of Khalbus-Dash...

After beating the victims Mr Kh. and Mr D. and having tied their hands, [the applicant], Mr O. and unidentified individuals, issuing threats of murder, killed 14 [cows], placed their bodies in the cars
