Summary

The European Court of Human Rights determined that Switzerland violated the ban on inhuman treatment by refusing asylum to a gay Iranian man.

The man claimed abuse from his family due to his sexual orientation and sought asylum in Switzerland in 2019. His application was rejected by the State Secretariat for Migration, which deemed his account unreliable, a decision later upheld by the Federal Administrative Court.

The court ruled that returning him to Iran would risk exposing him to inhumane treatment from his family, others, and the Iranian government.

Switzerland was ordered to pay him €7,000 in compensation.

The governor took action using his executive powers after efforts to enact a law banning the practice repeatedly failed in the state’s Republican-dominated legislature. Beshear signed the executive order during a statehouse ceremony attended by activists for LGBTQ+ rights.

“Let’s be clear: conversion therapy has no basis in medicine or science, and it has been shown to increase rates of suicide and depression,” Beshear said in a statement. “This is about doing what is right and protecting our children. Hate is not who we are as Kentuckians.”
