Judgment: Germany loses against human rights courtyard for deportation!

The European Court of Human Rights, which Germany sentenced Germany to Greece for the controversial deportation of a Syrian citizen, has made a significant decision. In its Judgment of Tuesday, the court found that the deportation was a clear violation of the prohibition of inhumane or humiliating treatment.

The judges in Strasbourg criticized the German authorities that they had not ensured before being deported whether the man in Greece would have access to an asylum procedure. This procedure is crucial to ensure that in such a case a transfer to Syria can be prevented. The man's possible conditions of detention in Greece also failed to take into account what could violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, who prohibits inhuman treatment.

deportation and controversial processes

The person concerned, a man born in Syria in 1993, was arrested in September 2018 on the German-Austrian border. He had tried to travel to Germany with a Bulgarian passport he had acquired in Greece for 2000 euros. After he was brought to a police station in Passau, he was put on the same day on a plane in Athens.

There were significant allegations against German administration: The man was accused of not registering his application for an asylum procedure in Germany. In addition, he had no access to a lawyer, which means that he was denied the opportunity to take legal action against his deportation.

punishment and compensation

As a result of the judgment, Germany must pay the man a compensation of 8,000 euros. In addition, Greece was convicted of paying 6,500 euros in a police station in a police station due to the poor prison conditions. The assessment of the case also showed that the plaintiff was later recognized as a refugee in Greece. However, this development was not foreseeable at the time of the deportation, which underlines the severity of the error of the German authorities.

The decision of the Human Rights Court not only refers to the individual treatment of this man, but also raises major questions about asylum policy and practices in Germany and the European Union. Such judgments could lead to undergoing existing deportation policies of a critical review.

The case has already triggered an intensive discussion about the legal situation and humane treatment of refugees, and it remains to be seen how Germany and Greece will react to the requirements of the court. For more information on this topic, there is comprehensive reporting www.pnp.de .
