      <image:title>Case Studies Greece - Family reunification between siblings - In June 2022, an unaccompanied child from Syria contacted ELIL to express his interest in family reunification. After obtaining authorisation from the Public Prosecutor, our legal team communicated with the Asylum Service to schedule a registration date for the minor, which was set for December 2022. During this time, we held several meetings with his sister to determine the documents needed for the family reunification request. We sent a detailed list of necessary documents to the sister to help her collect as many as possible. In December 2022, our team assisted with the registration of the case with the Asylum Service and submitted several available documents. We had a three-month period to submit additional documents, during which we maintained communication with the boy, his sister and the social worker assisting the case. After the sister signed several documents and the lawyer reviewed them, we submitted everything to the Asylum Service within the deadline. The Asylum Service sent the official request to the German authorities, who responded positively to the family reunification request. Currently, we are waiting for the Greek authorities to finalise the process of relocating the boy to Germany and he will travel in July 2023. This case highlights the crucial role that ELIL plays in facilitating family reunification for unaccompanied minors. By providing legal assistance, communicating with relevant parties and guaranteeing that all necessary documents are obtained, ELIL helps to ensure that vulnerable children receive the assistance they need during a difficult and often confusing process</image:title>

      <image:title>Case Studies Poland-Belarus - Beyond the Border: Unlawful Return of a Hospitalised Asylum Seeker under Poland’s New Law - On 8 April 2025, our client, a 17 year old boy from Mali, was in hospital in Hajnówka. He requested asylum and we obtained emergency interim measures from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to require Poland to consider his asylum application and prohibit them from returning him to Belarus. Despite this, he was removed from hospital and forcibly returned to Belarus later the day, in violation of the court’s order. The notable elements of this case are as follows: A 17 year old boy from Mali was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Hajnówka in the morning of Tuesday 8 April, having spent 10 days in the forest. He said he wanted to apply for asylum and so we were informed and immediately took a power of attorney to represent him. We informed the Border Guard that we were representing him, that he was an unaccompanied child, vulnerable and wanted to apply for asylum. At 11.00, we were told that, as he did not have a passport, he had been taken to Białystok hospital for a bone x-ray to determine his age. Given what had happened in the previous case, we were worried that this individual would also be quickly forcibly returned to Belarus. In light of this concern, we lodged an application to the European Court of Human Rights for emergency interim measures under Rule 39, requesting that the Court prohibit Poland from deporting him so that his request for asylum could be considered. We called the Border Guard again at 15.00 and were informed that he was being returned to Hajnówka from Białystok. They re-assured us and said that they would keep us updated. They did not inform us as to whether an age assessment had taken place or what the results were. At 18.21, we received a positive decision from the European Court of Human Rights, accepting our request. The order from the Court stated that the individual should not be removed from Poland and his asylum claim should be assessed. This decision was sent by the Court to us and to a special department in the Polish Ministry of Justice who are obliged to inform the Border Guard. We emailed the Border Guard a copy of the Court order to be certain they received. Unfortunately, they subsequently informed us that the individual had been deported at 18.40 (so, 20 minutes after the Court issued its order). The Border Guard said it had not seen the order and that it was now too late as “time cannot be turned back”. We are continuing this case at the ECHR and, as part of this, the Polish authorities have provided their justification, namely that when they interviewed the individual he said he was 18 and was an economic migrant. However, this interview was done without his lawyer or anyone else present, despite us having informed the border guards that we were his legal representative. We have repeatedly asked for copies of the interview, the age assessment and their decision regarding this case but, so far, nothing has been provided.</image:title>

      <image:title>Case Studies Poland-Belarus - Safeguarding rights at the Poland–Belarus border: Urgent legal action before the ECtHR - In early May 2025, ELIL was alerted to the case of a severely ill person who had recently crossed into Poland after surviving for nearly three weeks in the forest along the Belarusian border. The person had been found in a critical state and admitted to hospital with severe hypothermia, dehydration and visible signs of physical exhaustion. Their condition reflected the brutality of life at the border: no access to food or clean drinking water, injuries caused by prolonged walking without shoes and internal pain resulting from the desperate consumption of leaves and grasses. While in hospital, the individual recounted alarming experiences of abuse by Belarusian authorities, including physical mistreatment, threats of death and the witnessing of extrajudicial killings. They made clear that returning to Belarus was not an option. At the same time, they feared persecution in their country of origin due to past professional activities that placed them at risk. ELIL responded immediately. On 8 May, a request for interim measures was filed with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), citing the real and immediate risk of irreparable harm. The next day, the Court granted the request. ELIL immediately shared the Court’s decision with the relevant Polish border guard posts and remained in close contact with the hospital to monitor the individual’s condition. Once discharge from the hospital was imminent, ELIL followed up with the authorities to ensure that the interim measure would be respected and that the person would be allowed to apply for international protection. Despite the Court’s intervention, the situation escalated. On 13 May, the border guard informed ELIL that an application for asylum had not been accepted. Instead, they had filed a request to place the person in detention. ELIL immediately submitted a power of attorney and participated in the court hearing later that day. The following day, the court granted the request for detention and the individual was transferred to the Guarded Centre for Foreigners in Białystok. ELIL maintained close contact, providing legal advice and explaining the situation in detail to ensure that the person understood their rights and the process ahead. Over the next several days, ELIL continued to support the client as they sought to submit their asylum claim. On 22 May, the person confirmed that their application had finally been received and ELIL began preparing further evidence to strengthen the case. This included medical documentation, photos and a detailed account of the individual’s past activities and risks. Simultaneously, ELIL submitted an appeal against the detention order and shared a comprehensive update with the ECHR, including both medical and legal developments. The following week, the Polish court extended the individual’s detention by an additional three months. ELIL prepared and filed a second appeal while continuing communication with both the court and the authorities. Meanwhile, the ECtHR lifted the interim measure on 6 June, determining that there was no longer a need for its continuation since the person was now within the asylum procedure. ELIL responded formally to the Court, outlining the legal and factual developments that had taken place and emphasizing the ongoing importance of monitoring such cases, even after interim measures are lifted. Throughout this process, ELIL remained the client’s primary point of legal support, responding to questions, explaining procedures and ensuring that new information, such as recent threats or evidence of persecution, was promptly submitted to the authorities. When concerns were raised about visits from consular representatives, ELIL followed up with the detention centre and kept the individual informed of next steps. This case illustrates the complexity and urgency of ELIL’s legal work at the Poland-Belarus border. It reflects a broader pattern: individuals who are severely traumatised and in urgent need of protection are being placed into detention, denied immediate access to asylum procedures and left in legal uncertainty for weeks or months. ELIL’s intervention helped to safeguard access to international protection, challenge unlawful detention and hold authorities accountable to European human rights standards. The case remains ongoing, but ELIL’s involvement has ensured that the individual’s rights are being defended at every stage of the process.</image:title>

      <image:title>Case Studies Poland-Belarus - Unlawful Return from Hospital - The Case of a Somali Child Forcibly Removed from Polish Territory under the 2025 Law. On 27 March 2025, our client, a 17 year old Somali national, was in the hospital in the town of Hajnówka. He requested to apply for asylum but, under the provisions of the new law, this request was rejected. He was removed from the hospital and forcibly returned to Belarus. The notable elements of this case are: The individual arrived in hospital and was referred to ELIL by an NGO there. We took the power of attorney and informed the border guards we were representing him. After being in the hospital for five hours, the border guards returned. The doctors and NGO workers thought that the border guards were transporting him to a different hospital for an X-ray, but instead they drove him back to Belarus. This was done without informing us, his legal representatives. We were informed by the border guards subsequently that he had been immediately issued with a decision requiring him to leave the territory of Poland. This process raises numerous serious concerns: According to the law, this decision should have been taken at the border, not after he had already entered Poland and been hospitalised. He was returned back to Belarus without being allowed to apply for asylum. We have not received any official document confirming a refusal of his asylum application or justification as to why he was not allowed to apply for asylum. We are still awaiting further details and have lodged a case at the relevant Administrative Court to request this documentation. He was already in the hospital of Hajnówka – outside the buffer zone and more than 25 kilometers from the border – when he requested to apply for asylum. This raises serious concerns, as it indicates the law is being applied not just at the border but also in locations far from the border (even, in this case, a hospital). The law states that exceptions will be made for vulnerable individuals, including those in poor health. Our client was in hospital in a critical condition, with severe dehydration and unable to eat properly (having not eaten or drunk anything but muddy water for many days). He was found by the border guards in the forest in a very weak state, vomiting and lying motionless. He claimed to be an unaccompanied child and there is uncertainty about his age (with the birthdate on his passport differing from the birthdate he told the border guards). However, the border guards refused to investigate or verify this and refused to share any information with our lawyer (despite our stated intention to provide legal representation). We believe that this constitutes a major overreach of the powers under the new law. Even under the new law, he should have been allowed to apply for asylum. The authorities disregarded his vulnerable condition, failed to assess whether he was a child and removed him despite the fact that he was already in a hospital outside the buffer zone, more than 25 kilometers inside Poland when he declared his intention to seek asylum (and not at the border as required by the new law). This case suggests that the new law is being used to justify blanket denial of the right to apply for asylum at the border, even to those in desperate situations.</image:title>
