ABSTRACT
Mr Korosh Hatami, an Iranian national, arrived in Sweden on 13 June 1993. He asked for asylum upon arrival. The basis of his claim was his sympathies for the Mujahedin Khalgh organisation which had led to his arrest, imprisonment for 2 years and torture. After his release, he continued his activities, but following the arrest of another member of his group, who had revealed the applicant’s involvement, the latter fled to Kurdistan and then to Bandar Abbas and thereafter with assistance to Stockholm. The National Immigration Board rejected the applicant’s asylum claim on the grounds that it doubted its credibility. The applicant appealed to the Aliens Appeals Board which rejected his appeal on 1 July 1996 and ordered his expulsion. The applicant complained that his expulsion from Sweden and deportation to Iran would expose him to ill-treatment and give rise to a violation of A 3. Commission found unanimously V 3 if applicant deported to Iran.
