Having regard to Article 25 of the Convention for the
Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms;
Having regard to the application introduced on 27 April 1989
by S.S. against the Netherlands and registered on 28 April 1989
under file No. 14952/89;
Having regard to the report provided for in Rule 40 of the
Rules of Procedure of the Commission;
Having deliberated;
Decides as follows:
The applicant is a Syrian national, born in 1949, and at
present residing in Groningen, the Netherlands. In the procedure
before the Commission he is represented by Ms. M.G. Th. Omtzigt a
lawyer practising in Groningen.
The applicant complains that if he is deported to Syria he
will be persecuted as a Syrian-Orthodox Christian emigrant. His wife
and child were sent back to Syria in January 1989. He invokes
Articles 3 and 8 of the Convention.
By letter of 22 November 1989 the applicant's representative
informed the Commission that the applicant had been granted a
permanent residence permit in the Netherlands, and that he, therefore,
no longer wished to pursue the application.
The Commission notes that the applicant does not wish to
pursue his application and considers that there are no reasons of a
general character affecting the observance of the Convention which
necessitate the further retention of this case.
For these reasons, the Commission
DECIDES TO STRIKE THE APPLICATION OFF ITS LIST OF CASES
