The applicant, an Afghan national, entered Ukraine and then Slovakia. Slovakian authorities intercepted the applicant and returned him to Ukraine without a prior assessment. The Court found the complaints in respect of Article 3, 13 and 5(2) against Slovakia were manifestly ill-founded. The Court found for the applicant against Ukraine with regards to the lack of an assessment under Article 3 pending his return to Afghanistan, as well as with regards to his detention.
