COE: The ECtHR ruled that Denmark did not violate Article 8 of the Convention by ordering the expulsion of a Syrian refugee who was sentenced to two years and six months’ imprisonment for 14 offences of money laundering. The court held that after the expiry of the re-entry ban, the applicant could apply for family reunification.

According to the ECtHR's press release, “the applicant, Mr Allabed, is a Syrian national who was born in 1973 and lives in Aarhus (Denmark). Mr Allabed entered Denmark in 2013 and was granted residence as a refugee. By a final Supreme Court judgment of 29 January 2025 he was convicted of, among other offences, money laundering and sentenced to two years and six months' imprisonment. His expulsion from Denmark was ordered with a six-year re-entry ban. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family...

COE: The ECtHR ruled that there had been a violation of Article 8, taken alone and in conjunction with Article 13 of the ECHR, in a case concerning a Rohingya refugee from Myanmar because the Greek Asylum Service required that the applicant provide the required supporting documents, despite this being impossible due to his and his family's statelessness, and failed for 4 years to decide his application for family reunification. The court found that authorities failed to conduct an individualised assessment of whether the applicant's inability to submit those documents was justified.

A stateless Rohingya of Myanmar obtained refugee status in Greece on 19 April 2019. On 28 August 2019, he submitted a request for family reunification to the Greek Asylum Service (GAS) to reunite with his spouse and two minor children who were residing in...

COE: The ECtHR ruled unanimously that there had been a violation of Article 8, taken alone and in conjunction with Article 13 of the ECHR, in a family reunification case concerning an Afghan refugee due to the Greek authorities’ requirement of document certification by the Greek consular office, which was rendered impossible in practice as the consular office did not issue such certifications owing to the situation in Afghanistan and the Greek authorities’ non-recognition of the Taliban regime. The ECtHR held that the Greek authorities failed to strike a fair balance between the applicant’s interest in family reunification and the interests of the State.

A.D., an Afghan national who obtained refugee status in Greece in 2018, requested family reunification with his spouse and five children, who were residing in Afghanistan. As part of...

SK: The Administrative Court in Bratislava upheld both the Ministry’s refusal to grant refugee status to a Russian applicant who is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir and his exclusion from subsidiary protection for posing a danger to national security, despite the risk of inhuman or degrading treatment in Russia. The court recalled national jurisprudence establishing that asylum, as protection from persecution for political opinion, cannot be granted to applicants who openly promote ideology contrary to the fundamental values of a democratic society. The court also stated that criminal prosecution in the country of origin for participation in Hizb ut-Tahrir could not be regarded as persecution.

A. B., a national of the Russian Federation of Tatar ethnicity and Muslim faith, applied for international protection in Slovakia. The applicant claimed fear of persecution because of...

The applicant, a national of Tajikistan, applied for international protection in Slovakia in December 2024. By decision of 22 May 2025, the Ministry of the Interior (the Ministry) refused to grant the applicant international protection. The Ministry decided that...

LV: LV: The Riga District Administrative Court upheld the decision to refuse international protection to a Pakistani applicant from Khyber District, holding that although the region is affected by the activities of armed groups and by military escalation between Pakistan and Afghanistan, residents are able to relocate to more stable areas.

A Pakistani national from Bara Tehsil, Khyber District (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province), applied for international protection in Latvia on 14 November 2025 at a border guard post. He claimed that a group, not identified in the judgment, had extorted money from him and demanded that he fight against the Government of Pakistan. Finding that the applicant had not advanced any grounds capable of justifying international protection, his application was examined under the accelerated procedure. On 17 June 2026, the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (OCMA) rejected...
