Khlaifia and Others v. Italy relates to three Tunisian nationals who left on makeshift boats aiming to reach Italy in September 2011 during the ‘Arab Spring’. The Italian coastguard intercepted them and took them to the island of Lampedusa. They were transferred to the Contrada Imbriacola reception centre for registration, which was overcrowded with unacceptable sanitation, inadequate space to sleep and no contact with the outside world due to constant police surveillance.
This case relates to a Syrian man who claimed asylum in Belgium in June 2015. He had previously claimed asylum in Romania, but left after 6 days and lodged a claim in Germany. The German authorities refused his case on the basis that Romania was responsible under the Dublin III Regulation. The applicant then claimed asylum in Belgium.
The facts of the case relate to an Uzbek national who had been detained in Russia on two separate yet subsequent accounts. The first, following an extradition request lodged by the Uzbek authorities on account of alleged participation in extremist organisations, the second following an administrative expulsion decision pursuant to a breach of domestic immigration law. A concurrent set of proceedings were then initiated by the applicant, the first relating to an appeal against his extradition and a second on his asylum application and a subsequent appeal. On both accounts the Russian authorities rejected the appeals surmising that the applicant did not face a real risk of ill-treatment [27].
