43. Sometime later, his father was requested to leave the police station, while
the first applicant remained in police custody. The police demanded that
the second applicant follow them to a police office because “the chief of
police wanted to see him”.
(b) The fourth, fifth and sixth applicants submitted that they had been
arrested by people in plain clothes, without any explanations, and that
initially they had not known that those persons were police officers. In
particular, the fourth applicant claimed that he had been arrested at his
flat and that the persons who had arrested him had also seized his
computer and had taken him to a police station. Later the police accessed
his Facebook account through that computer and put a notice on it that
the demonstration planned for 23 February 2014 had been cancelled. The
fifth applicant claimed that he had been arrested in the evening of the day
before the officially recorded date and had spent the night in custody.
