FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 9933/18
Mahamuud MUSE SHIRE and Others
against the Netherlands
lodged on 20 February 2018
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applicants, a married couple and their second child born in May 2013, have Somali nationality. After the husband had been granted subsidiary protection in the Netherlands in 2010, his wife and oldest child were given permission to join him in October 2013 for purposes of refugee‑family reunion, but the second child – whom the application for reunion did not concern as she was born after that application had been made – stayed behind. A subsequent request for family reunion with the second child, lodged in 2015, was refused as it was held that the parents did not comply with an income requirement and could not be exempted from that requirement. Two more children have been born to the couple in the Netherlands. The applicants complain under Article 8 of the Convention that the denial of family reunion violates their right to respect for their family life.
QUESTION tO THE PARTIES
Has there been a violation of the applicants’ right to respect for their family life, contrary to Article 8 of the Convention?
