EGMR Decision: Deportation Stop for Syrians Lifted

The ECHR suspended the deportation in August. Given the security situation in Syria and the individual circumstances of the case, it was not proven that the man would face a specific risk to his rights under Article 2 and Article 3 if deported.

Man Convicted of Shoplifting and Unarmed Robbery

According to the ECHR's release, the man is a criminal Sunni Syrian citizen who came to Austria in 2022. His asylum procedure was discontinued twice because the applicant's whereabouts were unknown, and the application was finally rejected in 2024. In 2024 and 2025, the man from the northern Syrian province of Hasaka was convicted of shoplifting and unarmed robbery. After serving his prison sentence, he was taken into detention pending deportation. In July, Austria deported a Syrian to his country of origin for the first time in 15 years. Last week, another Syrian citizen was deported. According to the Ministry of the Interior, further deportations to Syria are being prepared.
