THIRD SECTION
Application no. 530/18
G. and Others
against the Netherlands
lodged on 7 December 2017
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The application concerns a Sikh family consisting of three adults and three minor children hailing from Kabul, Afghanistan whose two successive asylum applications were rejected by the Netherlands. The applicants allege that their removal to Afghanistan will violate their rights under Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention.
QUESTION
In the light of the applicants’ claims and the documents which have been submitted, more specifically the documents from the UNHCR, and in light of information set out in the UK Home Office’s “Country Policy and Information Note Afghanistan: Hindus and Sikhs” of 7 February 2017, would the applicants face a risk of being subjected to treatment in breach of Articles 2 and/or 3 of the Convention if they were expelled to Afghanistan?
