The Applicant, from Guinea-Bissau, sought asylum in Belgium in 2009, and was detained in 2010 in a closed centre pending a Dublin transfer to Greece, through which the Applicant had transited. On his third request for release, following an original detention order and two extensions, the Court of Appeal ordered his immediate release.
