Council of Europe (ECtHR)2025
High precedent
Strategic issue

What was at stake

Whether the applicant's expulsion to Türkiye and the conditions of his detention, together with the absence of an effective remedy, breached his rights under the prohibition of torture, the right to liberty and the right to an effective remedy.

Key holding

What the court decided

The Court held that Greece violated the applicant's rights under the prohibition of torture by expelling him to Türkiye where he faced a real risk of torture, breached the applicant's right to liberty by detaining him without proper legal basis and without informing him of the reasons, and failed to provide an effective remedy for these violations, while finding no violation of the applicant's right to life or the substantive aspect of the prohibition of torture concerning his alleged ill‑treatment in Greece.
