THIRD SECTION

Application no. 50449/18 M.A . against Sweden lodged on 29 October 2018

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The applicant is a Libyan national from Tripoli. He left Libya in 2017, came to Sweden and applied for asylum there. The applicant claimed that his brother had been killed by a militia (or clan) in 2014 and that the militia had also burned the family ’ s house down. The militia was still looking for him. Upon return he would be killed either by them or as a consequence of the general security situation in the country.

The Swedish Migration Agency ( Migrationsverket ) rejected the applicant ’ s asylum application and ordered his deportation to Libya. This decision was upheld by the Migration Court ( Migrationsdomstolen ) and the Migration Court of Appeal ( Migrationsöverdomstolen ) refused the applicant leave to appeal.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Can the applicant be regarded, in the light of the currently available information about the general security situation in Libya and about his personal circumstances, as being at real risk of ill-treatment or death if deported to Libya (see, mutatis mutandis , Hirsi Jamaa and Others v. Italy [GC], no. 27765/09, §§ 123-136, ECHR 2012; A. v. the Netherlands , no. 4900/06, §§ 141-151, 20 July 2010; Saadi v. Italy [GC], no. 37201/06, §§ 124-27, ECHR 2008; and NA. v. the United Kingdom , no. 2590 4/07, §§ 109-17, 17 July 2008)?
