Case No. 181248\/09<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Judgment date: 8 July 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Yuldashev the applicant fled to Russia\u00a0fearing prosecution by the Uzbek authorities\u00a0for having participated in the Andijan\u00a0demonstrations in 2005. He was arrested\u00a0and detained in Russia on 31 October 2007,\u00a0after Uzbekistan issued an arrest warrant for\u00a0him. The Uzbek authorities\u2019 request for his\u00a0extradition was granted on 28 April 2008.\u00a0The applicant appealed, but the decision\u00a0was upheld by the Supreme Court. On 2\u00a0November 2008, the applicant initiated proceedings\u00a0complaining about the length of his\u00a0detention and requesting his release. He was\u00a0finally released on 23 April 2010. The applicant\u2019s\u00a0requests for refugee status and temporary\u00a0asylum were rejected despite UNHCR\u00a0finding that his fear of politically motivated\u00a0ill-treatment in Uzbekistan was well-founded\u00a0and justified.<\/p>\n
