Darfur asylum applicant deported from UK can't get a fair hearing in Greece / UNHCR in the UK, 16 Dec 2005

"In essence, this case shows the extent to which European countries - both individually and collectively at the EU level - may have sacrificed protection safeguards in their efforts to restrict access and reduce numbers. A refugee can make an asylum claim in one EU country; move on to another EU country for quite understandable (if technically irregular) reasons; be returned perfectly legally under an EU Regulation to the country where the first asylum claim was lodged; and then - also perfectly correctly under that country's national law - not have his or her original claim heard at all."
