The European Court of Human Rights is blocking a Dublin court from deporting a man believed to be an Islamic State (ISIS) recruiter because he might be tortured in his home country.
The 52-year-old man, who is not named in Irish court documents, is the "foremost organizer and facilitator of travel by extremists prepared to undertake violent action on behalf of Daesh (ISIS)," the original court ruled, according to
New Europe.
The man is denying the allegations he is an ISIS recruiter. The ECHR ruled he must not be deported until a fuller hearing can be held.
The man was living in Ireland on an a secured residency because he has a 15-year-old son who is an Irish citizen. But the son has been living outside Ireland with his mother, and the father's residency permit expired.
