S.A.K.
against Norway
lodged on 9 July 2013
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The applicant is an Ethiopian national who, unsuccessfully, applied for asylum in Norway. She is represented before the Court by the Aire Centre in London (Mr A. Weiss) and by the Norwegian law firm Endresen, Brygfjeld and Torrall. The application was lodged on 2 April 2013.
COMPLAINTS
The applicant’s representatives complain that her deportation to Ethiopia would be in violation of Article 3 of the Convention.
They also invoke Article 8 and refer in general to the link that the applicant has obtained with Norway.
The representatives further argue that the applicant will be subjected to a collective expulsion to Ethiopia in violation of Article 4 of Protocol No. 4.
Lastly, they complain that there will be a breach of Article 13, in conjunction with all the above-mentioned provisions, as the applicant has no remedy with automatic suspensive effect against the proposed collective expulsion.
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
1. Has the applicant failed to fulfil the requirement of exhaustion of domestic remedies in Article 35 § 1 of the Convention?
2. Would the applicant’s deportation to Ethiopia be incompatible with Article 3 of the Convention?
3. The Government are requested to submit an English translation and copies of the Immigration Appeals Board’s decisions, as well as copies of the Directorate of Immigration’s decisions and of other domestic decisions relevant to the applicant’s case.
