FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 7077/15
Ahmed AYAD against Hungary
and 4 other applications
(see list appended)
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applications concern asylum detention of the applicants pending a determination of their asylum claims.
The applicants complain under Article 5 § 1 of the Convention that their asylum detention was unjustified, unlawful and arbitrary essentially because the authorities ordered (and, in certain cases, extended) it without examining the legal grounds, their individual circumstances or the applicability of less restrictive measures. The applicants further complain that they did not have an effective remedy which met the requirements of Article 5 § 4 of the Convention to challenge the lawfulness of their detention.
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
1. Were the applicants deprived of their liberty in breach of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention? Did the deprivation of liberty, suffered by the applicants, fall within any paragraph of this provision (see O.M. v. Hungary, no. 9912/15, 5 July 2016)?
2. Did the applicants have at their disposal an effective procedure by which they could challenge the lawfulness of their detention, as required by Article 5 § 4 of the Convention? Did the decisions concerning the review of the applicants’ extended detention comply with the “speed” requirement of Article 5 § 4 of the Convention?
