Zagadnienie prawne

Czy deportacja skarżącej do Somalii naruszyłaby art. 3 Konwencji ze względu na ryzyko nieludzkiego lub poniżającego traktowania (śmierć, przymusowe małżeństwo) po powrocie?

Ratio decidendi

Trybunał uznał, że deportacja skarżącej do Mogadiszu w Somalii nie naruszyłaby art. 3 Konwencji, co oznacza, że nie stwierdził istnienia realnego ryzyka nieludzkiego lub poniżającego traktowania, na które skarżąca byłaby narażona po powrocie. Pomimo obaw skarżącej dotyczących zagrożenia ze strony rodziny (w tym wujków, którzy mieli dołączyć do al-Shabaab) oraz ryzyka przymusowego małżeństwa i trudnej sytuacji kobiet w Somalii, Trybunał nie znalazł podstaw do stwierdzenia naruszenia. Jednocześnie, tymczasowy środek z zasady 39 Regulaminu Trybunału, zakazujący deportacji, pozostał w mocy do uprawomocnienia się wyroku lub do dalszego zarządzenia.

Stan faktyczny

Skarżąca, Ms R.H., obywatelka Somalii urodzona w 1988 r., złożyła wniosek o azyl w Szwecji w grudniu 2011 r. Jej wniosek został odrzucony przez szwedzkie organy migracyjne w czerwcu 2013 r., które nakazały jej deportację do Somalii, kwestionując wiarygodność jej zeznań (wcześniejsze wnioski o azyl we Włoszech i Holandii, nielegalny pobyt w Szwecji, zmieniane historie dotyczące ucieczki z Somalii). Skarżąca obawiała się, że po powrocie do Somalii zostanie zabita przez wujków za odmowę przymusowego małżeństwa lub ponownie zmuszona do małżeństwa, a także wskazywała na trudną sytuację kobiet w Somalii, zwłaszcza tych bez męskiego wsparcia. W styczniu 2014 r. ETPCz zastosował tymczasowy środek z zasady 39, wstrzymując deportację.

Rozstrzygnięcie

Stwierdza brak naruszenia art. 3 Konwencji w przypadku deportacji skarżącej do Mogadiszu w Somalii. Tymczasowy środek (zasada 39 Regulaminu Trybunału) – zakaz deportacji skarżącej – pozostaje w mocy do uprawomocnienia się wyroku lub do dalszego zarządzenia.

Pełny tekst orzeczenia

issued by the Registrar of the Court ECHR 273 (2015) 10.09.2015 Judgments and decisions of 10 September 2015 The European Court of Human Rights has today notified in writing one judgment1 and two decisions2 . one Chamber judgment is summarised below; the two decisions can be consulted on Hudoc and do not appear in this press release. The judgment summarised below is available in English only. R.H. v. Sweden (application no. 4601/14) The case concerned the deportation of a Somali asylum-seeker. The applicant, Ms R.H., is a Somali national who was born in 1988. She applied for asylum in Sweden in December 2011, claiming that she had just arrived in the country. The Migration Board and migration courts examined her situation and eventually rejected her asylum application in June 2013 and ordered her deportation to Somalia. Those instances found that the applicant’s statements to the authorities lacked credibility: notably, she had already filed asylum applications in Italy and the Netherlands before arriving in Sweden in 2007, staying there illegally until contacting the migration authorities in 2011; and, initially claiming that she had left Somalia because of the war, had then changed her story to allege that she had fled Somalia with a secret boyfriend to escape a forced marriage to an older man and feared ill-treatment by her family on her return, particularly by her uncles who had already severely beaten her in 2004 for trying to escape. The applicant subsequently submitted a petition to have the enforcement of her deportation order stopped, claiming that her uncles had joined al-Shabaab, a jihadist terrorist group based in Somalia, forcing her brother to also join the group and killing her sister. The Migration Board rejected her petition in September 2013. The applicant’s deportation was stayed in January 2014 on the basis of an interim measure granted by the European Court of Human Rights under Rule 39 of its Rules of Court, which indicated to the Swedish Government that the applicant should not be expelled to Somalia whilst the Court was considering the case. Relying in particular on Article 3 (prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment) of the European Convention on Human Rights, Ms R.H. alleged that, if removed from Sweden to Somalia, she would face a real risk of either being killed by her uncles for refusing to agree to a forced marriage before fleeing Somalia or forced to marry a man against her will again upon her return. She further claimed that the general situation in Somalia for women was very difficult, in particular for those – such as herself – who lacked a male network and were therefore all the more vulnerable. No violation of Article 3 in the event of Ms R.H.’s deportation to Mogadishu in Somalia Interim measure (Rule 39 of the Rules of Court) – not to deport Ms R.H. – still in force until judgment becomes final or until further order. Under Articles 43 and 44 of the Convention, Chamber judgments are not final. During the three-month period following a Chamber judgment’s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a panel of five judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and deliver a final judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the Convention, judgments delivered by a Committee are final. Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution. Further information about the execution process can be found here: www.coe.int/t/dghl/monitoring/execution Inadmissibility and strike-out decisions are final.
