CASE OF M.K. AND OTHERS v. POLAND (no. 40503/17)
What was at stake
Whether the applicants' expulsion to a country where they faced a real risk of torture would breach the prohibition of torture, the right to an effective remedy, and the prohibition of collective expulsion.
What the court decided
The Court held that the expulsion would violate the prohibition of torture and that the applicants were denied an effective remedy to challenge that risk, and it also found violations of the right to individual application and of the prohibition of collective expulsion. The Court awarded the applicants non‑pecuniary damages.
