AFFAIRE M.A. c. BELGIQUE (Requête no 19656/18)
Comments:
The case concerned the applicant’s removal to Sudan by the Belgian authorities in spite of a court
decision ordering the suspension of the measure.
The Court found in particular that on account of procedural defects attributable to the Belgian
authorities prior to the applicant’s removal to Sudan, he had been prevented from pursuing the
asylum application that he had lodged in Belgium and the Belgian authorities had not sufficiently
assessed the real risks that he faced in Sudan.
In addition, by deporting the applicant in spite of the court order to suspend the measure, the
authorities had rendered ineffective the applicant’s successful appeal.
