This case concerns the unjustified detention of a Syrian national for six months which constitutes a violation of Article 5§1 of the Convention. The ECtHR found that the alleged risk of absconding and threat to national security were not supported by relevant arguments and legal basis. Even more importantly, the Committee indicated that a 6-month detention duration “alone” is raising concerns, “regardless of the issues relating to the applicant’s possible vulnerability”.
