UN: The Human Rights Committee dismissed the communication of a Myanmar national against Sweden, finding that her opposition to the military junta on social media, her family’s political background, and her claims of discrimination based on her ethnicity, religion and health condition did not substantiate a real risk of irreparable harm upon return, and that her removal would not violate Articles 6 and 7 of the ICCPR.

The applicant, a national of Myanmar, referred to as K.C. , entered Sweden on a student visa from Türkiye on 18 February 2021 and applied for asylum on 9 March 2021. She claimed she...

UN: The Human Rights Committee found inadmissible the complaint of an Afghan national facing removal from Sweden, concluding that his alleged claims of conversion to Christianity and homosexuality were not credibly substantiated, that his mental health condition was treatable in Afghanistan, and that he failed to prove Afghan authorities’ awareness of his profile.

The applicant, an Afghan national, requested international protection in Sweden on 27 August 2014 as an unaccompanied minor. He claimed fear of persecution by the Taliban due to his Hazara ethnicity and his Shia Muslim faith. He also cited...

EU: The CJEU clarified that the term ‘rejection’, in the wording of Article 18(1)(d) of the Dublin III Regulation, is an independent concept under the EU law, which cannot be interpreted as including non-extension or non-renewal of a residence document previously issued to a third-country national who made an application for international protection.

A Syrian national applied for asylum in Denmark on 1st July 2016 and was issued a temporary residence document pursuant to Paragraph 7(3) of the Law on Foreign Nationals, by decision of 29 August 2016. That residence document was initially valid for one...

IT: The Court of Cassation set aside the CPR detention validation orders issued by the Tribunal of Milan concerning an applicant from El Salvador, finding that the Tribunal had failed to examine whether his asylum application was genuinely grounded or merely aimed at evading expulsion, despite the applicant having substantiated his fear of persecution on account of past gang affiliation.

The applicant is a national of El Salvador who entered Italy in 2004. The Prefect and the Chief of Police of Varese ordered his expulsion on 27 August 2024 under Article 13, paragraph 2, letter c) of the Consolidated Immigration Act (TUI). On the same day, the Justice of the Peace of Varese validated the escort to the border, authorising the applicant’s temporary holding in the security room of the...

PT: The Central Administrative Court confirmed the transfer to Germany of an LGBTIQ Sierra Leonean applicant, whose asylum claim was already rejected in Germany, noting that the applicant had not established that he would face systemic flaws in the asylum procedure and/or reception conditions of the receiving State; the court also noted that the applicant did not establish in which way his medical condition (epilepsy) affected his ability to exercise his rights in the asylum procedure and dismissed as unsubstantiated the argument that he risked imprisonment in Sierra Leone due to his sexual orientation.

A., a Sierra Leonean national, applied for international protection in Germany, claiming persecution based on his sexual orientation. His application was rejected by the German...

ES: The National High Court allowed the request for a transfer to Spain to apply for asylum, made at the Spanish Embassy in Pakistan, pursuant to Article 38 of the Asylum Act, by a former Afghan public prosecutor and her family, who were at risk of retaliation by the Taliban; the court noted that Pakistan has not signed the Refugee Convention and found that the applicants faced a risk of refoulement.

On 25 November 2022, S., her husband A., and their minor daughter L., Afghan nationals displaced to Pakistan in late 2021 following the Taliban takeover, requested the Spanish Embassy to transfer them to Spain in order to apply for asylum, pursuant to Article 38 of the Asylum Act. The applicants appealed to the National High Court against the implicit dismissal resulting from the...
