An order of the French speaking Court of first instance of Brussels dated from 19 May 2014 declared the request of an Afghan asylum seekers (retained on that date for carrying out the transfer to Bulgaria according to the Dublin regulation) to be founded based on article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The applicant was released accordingly.
