European Convention on Human Rights:
We regularly represent clients who risk torture in the event of deportation to their home country. In recent years, we have submitted over 50 complaints to the UN Committee against Torture and the UN Human Rights Committee.
In its decision, The U.N. Committee against Torture, finds that Swedish migration authorities have failed in their obligation to make an individualized assessment of the personal and real risk that the complainant would face in Afghanistan. Failure to evaluate the evidence presented in the case, including his dissemination of the Christian message on social media, failure to take into account his cultural and educational background, failure to obtain and include in his assessment independent medical evidence of his health condition, failure to consider the evidence in combination and failure to correctly assess the answers from the applicant, especially the evidence that has been used to form the basis for the credibility assessment. According to the Committee, all these factors contributed to the decision.

We regularly represent clients who have been victims of human trafficking and forced labour
Scandinavian human rights lawyers represent Joy, who survived human trafficking for sexual purposes, and her little son. Joy was only 15 years old when she was sold as a sex slave to Greece. She was severely beaten, raped and forced to sell her body during horrific circumstances, guarded by five pimps around the clock. She became pregnant with one of the traffickers and fled to Sweden to seek asylum. In 2013, the Swedish Migration Agency decided to deport her and her little son despite the enormous risk of re-trafficking. After we lost the case in several proceedings in Swedish courts, we brought a complaint to the UN Committee Against Torture(CAT)and claimed that the decision of expulsion constituted a violation of human rights and the Convention against Torture. Finally, the UN committee decided to stop deportation and now, after a renewed asylum investigation, the family has been granted asylum and international protection in Sweden.

The UN Human Rights Committee has decided to stop the deportation of Mostafa, who risks the death penalty and torture during deportation to Afghanistan, because he converted from Islam to Christianity. Mostafa has tattooed JESUS and a cross on his neck. The Swedish Migration Agency claims that Mostafa is not a Christian and that he can "easily" "hide" his tattoo in Afghanistan when he is deported there. We claim in the complaint that the decision to refuse Mostafa protection under the Aliens Act was manifestly arbitrary and a denial of justice and in violation of the provisions on the prohibition of torture and the right to religious freedom and expression in the UN Convention on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention.
