L.M. and Others v. Russia (application nos. 40081/14, 40088/14, and 40127/14) (AİHS md. 2, 3 ve 5)

Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’ne göre, “Rusya’dan Suriye’ye sınır dışı etme, Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi’ni ihlal edecektir.”
 
15.10.2015 tarihli L.M. and Others v. Russia kararı, üç kişinin Rusya’dan Suriye’ye sınır dışı edilecek olması ve bu esnada Rusya’da gözetim altında olması ile ilgilidir. Mahkeme, ilk kez, mevcut şartlar altında Suriye’ye gönderme meselesi ile ilgili karar vermiştir. Buna göre, Suriye’deki kriz ile ilgili uluslararası raporlar ve başvurucuların bireysel durumuna ilişkin ek bilgiler çerçevesinde, başvurucular, Suriye’ye gönderilmelerinin onları yaşamları ve kişisel güvenlikleri yönünden gerçek bir risk ile karşı karşıya bırakacağı iddiasını başarıyla ileri sürmüştür. Dolayısıyla, eğer başvurucular Suriye’ye zorla gönderilirse, AİHS md. 2 veya 3 ihlal edilecektir.

L.M. and Others v. Russia (application nos. 40081/14, 40088/14, and 40127/14)
 
Expulsion from Russia to Syria would violate the European Convention on Human Rights
 
The case of L.M. and Others v. Russia (application nos. 40081/14, 40088/14, and 40127/14) concerned the impending expulsion of three men to Syria from Russia and their detention pending expulsion in Russia.
In today’s Chamber judgment1 in the case, the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously:
that the applicants’ forced return to Syria would give rise to a violation of Article 2 (right to life)
and/or Article 3 (prohibition of torture and of inhuman or degrading treatment) of the European Convention on Human Rights;
that there had been a violation of Article 5 § 1 (f) (right to liberty and security) and Article 5 § 4
(right to have lawfulness of detention decided speedily by a court); and
that Russia had failed to comply with its obligations under Article 34 (right of individual petition).
This was the first time that the Court addressed in a judgment the issue of returns to Syria in the current situation. The Court found that, in view of international reports about the crisis in Syria and additional information about the applicants’ individual situation, the applicants had put forward a well-founded allegation that their return to Syria would expose them to a real risk to their lives and personal security.
Having regard to its finding that the applicants’ detention, since the last decision by the Russian courts confirming their expulsion order in May 2014, had been in breach of Article 5, the Court held, in application of Article 46 (binding force and execution of judgments), that Russia was to ensure the immediate release of two of the applicants who had so far remained in detention.
