ECtHR blocks push back of Somali migrants from Malta to Libya following outcry from civil society
On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) handed the Maltese government a Rule 39 interim order blocking the return of around 45 Somali migrants from Malta to Libya. The decision was prompted by an application brought by the Jesuit Refugee Service and People for Change Foundation, together with a number of supporting organisations. The ECtHR has given the Maltese government one month in which to give a full and individual consideration to the asylum applications of the migrants.
