Overview

• Verwaltungsgericht Münster ruled that the 39-year-old, convicted in Germany for IS membership, may be returned to Tajikistan.
• The court said torture is not likely and that treatment meeting European human-rights standards can be expected.
• Tajikistan’s pledge transmitted via the German Foreign Office was central to the court’s assessment.
• North Rhine-Westphalia’s higher administrative court had previously halted the removal in an emergency decision over risks to life and limb.
• The ruling is not final, with no appeal admitted but a Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde possible, and related proceedings in Münster still pending.
