A national of Chad requested international protection in France, claiming a fear of persecution by the authorities and his family due to sexual orientation. By decision of 12 November 2021, the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA) rejected the application. The applicant appealed.

The CNDA annulled the decision of the OFPRA and provided refugee protection. The court relied on the latest reports of the United States Department of State regarding the situation of human rights in Chad and on the annual report of Freedom House. It held that in addition to criminal prosecutions to which homosexuals are exposed in Chad, they face intense social and professional discrimination, leading to marginalization, acts of violence, harassment and bullying on the part of Chadian society and the authorities. Thus, the court concluded that homosexual people in the Republic of Chad constitute a social group within the meaning of the Geneva Convention whose members are victims of persecution because of this membership.
