He complains under Article   3 of the Convention that his continued detention amounts to inhuman and degrading treatment because he is disabled and uses a wheelchair; however, he is detained in a regular prison which is not adapted to his special needs. QUESTION TO THE PARTIES Is the applicant’s continued detention compatible with Article 3 of the Convention, in view of his state of health? In particular, is he detained in conditions which correspond to the special needs resulting from his disability (see Enea v. Italy [GC], no.   74912/01, §§   57-58, ECHR   2009; Grimailovs v.   Latvia , no. 6087/03, §§ 150-53, 25 June 2013; and Yunusova and Yunusov v.   Azerbaijan , no. 59620/14, §   138, 2 June 2016)?
