On 8 July 2010, the complainant gave an additional interview. These interviews
were held' with the participation of an interpreter, and the complainant was given an
oppo~nity to submit written additions. On 9 September 2010, the government issued a
notice of intent to deny the asylum application. On 7 October 2010, the complainant
submitted his comments to thls notice. The asylum application was nevertheless rej ected on
25 October 2010.
4.3
The State party submits that on 18 November 2010, the complainant applied for
judicial review of this decision. By judgment of the full-bench chamber 'of the Hague
district court, sitting in Zwolle, the application for judicial review was declared unfounded.
The complainant then appealed this judgment to the Administrative Jurisdiction Division of
the Council of State. The Administrative Jurisdiction Division declared. the application
manifestly ill- founded. 6

On 26' April 2012, the complainant submitted a new application for a temporary
asylum. Thls application was .rejectedby the IND's decision of 10 May 2012. On 11 May
2012, the complainant applied to the Hague ,district court, whlch rejected the application on
24 September 20J2, declaring it "unfounded." The complainant did not appeal against this
decision.
4.5
Regarding the claims that were made by the complainant in the framework of the
present case, the State party submits that although the huinan rights s1tuation in Guinea
gives a concern, according to various sources, 7 the deportation will not lead to violation of
article 3 of the Convention.
4.6
The State· party sub mits that it "exercised due care" during the asylum procedure.
According to section 31, subsection 1, of the Aliens Act 2000, the applicant is required to
supply all information, including relevant documents, on the basis of which, it can be
decided whether sufficient grounds exist to grant asylurn. The asylum procedure gives an
opportunity fer the applicant to prove the veracity of his testimony: onl)' credible accounts
are considered during the assessment.
4.7
The State party considers that the complainant's account in support of his asylum
application is not credible. Even if the statements were to be considered credible, the
complainant has not shown that hls return to Guinea would result in violationof article 3 by
the' State party. In providing the details in support' of his application, the State party
considers that the complainimthas been insufficiently cooperative. He has not submitted a
single document to establish hls nationality, identity, or travel route. He has also failed to
produce any documents that would allow him to travel. These circumstances undermine the
credibilityofthe complainant '
4.8
In addition, the complainant made very cursory statements about the death of his
parents. He cannot say when his father died, not.even by approximation. He also cannot say
who attended hls funeral in 2005. It is also unlikely that he spent three days in hospital after
being beaten up by his uncle since he cannot say what medication he was given there and
what physical complaints he had. The complainant also failed to provide details of hls trip
to Conakry after he was disch~rged from the hospital.
