(Yle) The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) says it will revisit about 500 asylum decisions following a European court ruling critical of a previous deportation.
Last week the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) found Finnish authorities guilty of violating the European Convention on Human Rights. The case centred on an Iraqi man who was killed in Baghdad in late 2017, soon after Finland rejected his asylum application and deported him.
Migri says it wants to ensure that any cases similar to those in the case are identified.
Some cases where applicants have received enforceable negative asylum decisions will face new scrutiny, if the cases were processed before the 14 November ECHR ruling.
