Risk of being stoned to death
THE LAW 17. The Court reiterates that the applicant complained that his expulsion to Iran would expose him to a risk of treatment in violation of Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 6 to the Convention. Noting that the Aliens Appeals Board, on 23 September 2004, revoked the expulsion order against the applicant and granted him a permanent residence permit, the Court finds that the applicant no longer faces expulsion to Iran or any risk of treatment in violation of the mentioned provisions. 18. In these circumstances, the Court concludes that the matter has been resolved within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (b ) of the Convention. Furthermore, the Court finds no reasons of a general character, as defined in Article 37 § 1 in fine, which would require the examination of the application by virtue of that Article. 19. Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
