Communicated case: Sahiti v. Belgium (application nr. 24421/20)

• Sahiti v. Belgium (application nr. 24421/20). The case concerns a Kosovar national who suffers from severe chronic post-traumatic anxiety psychoneurosis and whose regularization applications have been rejected by the Belgian authorities. The applicant complains that his deportation to Kosovo would entail a risk of inhuman and degrading treatment, in the sense of Article 3 ECHR, due to the lack of availability and accessibility of the required medical follow-up. Additionally, he complains about the lack of effective recourse against decisions that denied him permission to stay on medical grounds, which would be contrary to Article 13 ECHR.
