The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has recently communicated the following asylum-related cases:
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has released its judgment in the case of O.O. v. Russia (App. No. 36321/16) concerning the extradition of an Uzbek national.
On 31 August, the ECtHR communicated a case concerning the removal to Libya of a family of asylum seekers, after the Dutch authorities did not find their asylum claim credible.
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].
