ECHR slams France for failing to provide safe deportation of two minors to Comoros

Moscow, June 25 (Sputnik) The French authorities have failed to provide safety measures for two children, who had entered the French department of Mayotte illegally, during their deportation to Comoros, the European Court of Human Rights ruled on Thursday.
In November 2013, two children, who were 3 and 5 years old at that time, were among the passengers who traveled on a makeshift boat bound for Mayotte. The French authorities arrested all the passengers at sea. The children returned the same day to Comoros, and their father, who was living on Mayotte, was unable to contact them.
"The Court was persuaded that the administrative association of the two children with an unrelated adult had not sought to preserve the children’s best interests but rather to ensure their speedy removal to Comoros. Placing them in a detention center could only have caused them stress and anxiety, with particularly traumatic repercussions for their mental state," the ruling from the ECHR said.
