FIFTH SECTION
Application no. 16054/22
A.E.
against Türkiye
lodged on 17 March 2022
communicated on 22 January 2026
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applicant is an Iranian national who applied for international protection in Türkiye.
The application mainly concerns the alleged failure of the domestic authorities to adequately assess the risk of the applicant’s death or ill‑treatment upon removal, in the light of her claim that she had been subjected to domestic violence by her husband, who resides in Iran and had filed a criminal complaint against her for alleged adultery.
On 20 August 2019 the Sivas Provincial Directorate of Migration Management rejected the applicant’s request for international protection, and on 16 June 2021 a removal order was issued against the applicant. These decisions were subsequently upheld by the Sivas Administrative Court.
The Constitutional Court ultimately declared the applicant’s individual application inadmissible, finding no indication of a violation of the prohibition of ill-treatment.
The applicant relies on Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention.
 
 
 
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
1.  Is the applicant currently under a threat of deportation to Iran? If so, would she face a real risk of being subjected to treatment in breach of Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention as she alleges if she were to be deported to Iran?
 
2.  Did the national authorities and courts fulfil their obligation to conduct an adequate examination of the applicant’s allegations that she would be exposed to a real risk of death or ill‑treatment if removed to Iran, as required by Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention (see, mutatis mutandis, F.G. v. Sweden [GC], no. 43611/11, § 127, ECHR 2016; Khasanov and Rakhmanov v. Russia [GC], nos. 28492/15 and 49975/15, §§ 93-116, 29 April 2022; N. v. Sweden, no. 23505/09, §§ 55-62, 20 July 2010; and Babajanov v. Turkey, no. 49867/08, §§ 41-49, 10 May 2016)?
 
The Government are requested to submit copies of all documents relevant to the deportation proceedings, including all petitions and decisions taken and any assessment undertaken by the domestic authorities as to the possible risks faced by the applicant in case of removal to Iran.
 
The applicant is requested to submit copies of all documents and information relevant to the criminal proceedings pending against her in Iran.
