The Swedish authorities refused his request and ordered his deportation to Iraq. The deportation order became statute-barred in 2019, whereupon the applicant requested asylum again. In these new proceedings the authorities found that the applicant’s need for protection should be assessed in the light of the situation in Syria, not Iraq. The applicant relied on, inter alia , the war and the situation in Syria for stateless persons of Palestinian origin. The authorities refused the request and ordered the applicant’s deportation to Syria. The decision became final on 17 August 2021. The applicant complains that if he were to be deported, he would face a real risk of being killed.       QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Will the applicant be deported to Syria or Iraq?   2.     In the light of the applicant’s claims, the documents which have been submitted and relevant country information, would he face a risk of being subjected to treatment in breach of Article   2 and/or Article 3 of the Convention if he were deported to Syria or Iraq?   3.     In particular, if the applicant were deported to Syria, would he face such a risk on account of being a stateless person of Palestinian origin having lived in the Yarmouk refugee camp, taking into consideration recent country information on the situation in the area and that of returnees to Syria (see, inter alia , European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA), Syria: Targeting of Individuals , September 2022, section 12, and EUAA, Country Guidance: Syria , February 2023, sections 2, 4.1.4 and 5.3.4)?
