Abstract

In this Rule 39 request, the ECtHR indicated to the government of Austria not to remove the applicant, an Afghan national, from Austria to Afghanistan until 31 August 2021. This interim measure was adopted in view of the planned deportation of the applicant on 3 August 2021 and the decision of the Afghan Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, which was notified to EU Governments, to stop accepting deportations to Afghanistan from 8 July to 8 October 2021. The court also mentions the security situation in Afghanistan and which has caused Finland, Sweden and Norway to suspend removals to Afghanistan until further notice.
