DECISION

Application no. 43654/18 S.S. against Sweden

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 9 December 2021 as a Committee composed of:

Lorraine Schembri Orland, President, Erik Wennerström, Ioannis Ktistakis, judges, and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 11 September 2018,

Having regard to the decision to grant the applicant anonymity, in accordance with Rule 47 § 4 of the Rules of the Court,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, S.S., was born in 1999. She was represented by Ms E. Hillert, a lawyer practising in Stockholm.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning her expulsion to Afghanistan were communicated to the Swedish Government (“the Government”), represented by their Agents, Ms H. Lindquist and Ms K. Fabian, of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

Subsequently, the Government informed the Court that on 16 July 2021 the Swedish Migration Agency had decided to suspend all enforcements of deportation orders to Afghanistan due to the prevailing security situation in the country. They clarified that the applicant had the right to remain in Sweden until further notice in compliance with the general decision to suspend all enforcements of deportation orders to Afghanistan, as well as with the individual decision to suspend the enforcement of her deportation. The Government maintained that the present application should be declared inadmissible for being manifestly ill-founded.

The applicant did not comment on the information submitted by the Government.

THE LAW

The Court notes that, for the time-being, all enforcements of deportation orders to Afghanistan have been suspended in Sweden. The applicant is thus no longer in an immediate risk of being deported from Sweden.

In view of the above, the Court considers that the matter has been resolved within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (b) of the Convention and that respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto does not require it to continue the examination of the application under Article 37 § 1 in fine .

Accordingly, the application should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 13 January 2022.
