Violations, an order for the imposition of an administrative punishment may not be
implemented if it has not been implemented for two years after its entry into force. There is
no decision regarding the deportation of the author to Afghanistan. The State party thus
maintains that there has been no violation of the rights of the author on the territory of the
Russian Federation.

The State party submits that the allegations of the author that there is a decision of
the authorities of the Russian Federation to deport him and that he has exhausted all
available domestic remedies as required under articles 2 and 5, paragraph 2 (b), of the
Optional Protocol are unfounded and unreliable. The State party maintains that the
communication should be declared inadmissible, inter alia for abuse of the right of
submission.
Author’s comments on admissibility
5.1
On 10 June 2012, the author submitted that the State party does not suggest any
effective domestic remedies that should have been exhausted by the author and does not
refer to any other valid inadmissibility grounds under articles 2 and 5 of the Optional
Protocol.
5.2
Regarding the facts of the case, the author notes that the decision of the
Kuybushevskiy District Court quashing the Migration Service’s decision not to grant him
temporary asylum, which referred to international human rights treaties, later became
“inoperative” because of the subsequent refusal of the Migration Service to extend the
author’s temporary asylum.
5.3
The author agrees that he could not be expelled on the basis of the 28 January 2003
decision of the Vasilyevskiy Island District Court. However, the gist of his complaint is
that, as he has no formal right to stay in the Russian Federation, he could be deported at any
time pursuant to section 31 of Federal Law No. 1159 in conjunction with section 13 of the
