in ‘potentially trailblazing’ decision, European court of human rights finds country engaging in illicit deportations

In a judgment described as potentially trailblazing, the Strasbourg-based tribunal awarded the complainant damages of €20,000, citing evidence that the frontline EU state was engaging in the illicit deportations when she was removed.
