7.  The applicant was born in 1942. 8.  He arrived in Sweden on 19 April 2006 and applied for asylum on the same day. He submitted that he had been approached in his home in Eritrea by men in military uniforms, who had asked him about his sons, since they had apparently deserted from military service. He had stated that he did not know of their whereabouts, but the men had not believed him. He had been imprisoned, during which he had been beaten daily. He had managed to escape after five days, upon which he had immediately left for Sudan without returning home. 9.  On 4 October 2007 the Migration Board (Migrationsverket) rejected the applicant’s request for asylum and ordered his deportation to Eritrea. The Board noted that parents of deserters had reportedly been arrested and forced to either pay bail or serve in their children’s place. However, taking into account that one and a half year had passed since the applicant’s departure and that he had otherwise not been of interest to the authorities, it considered that there was no remaining risk for him. Moreover, his injuries were not deemed to be of such severity as to give reason to grant him a residence permit. 10.  The applicant appealed and added that, following his departure, his wife had been visited by men looking for their sons. She had had difficulties with the military and had subsequently disappeared. 11.  On 11 March 2008 the Migration Court (Migrationsdomstolen) upheld the Board’s decision. The court questioned the applicant’s credibility. He had initially claimed that the military had taken his identity card, and later that he had lost it during the journey. However, he had subsequently submitted an identity card, without explaining how he had procured it. He had furthermore given contradictory information regarding the amount of money paid to the smuggler. It was in any event deemed remarkable that he would have been able to keep such a large sum of money during his imprisonment. Regardless of the credibility issue, the court found that he had not made it likely that he was at risk upon returning. 12.  On 3 June 2008 the Migration Court of Appeal (Migrations-överdomstolen) refused leave to appeal. 13.  The applicant later claimed that there was an impediment to the enforcement of the deportation order, stating that he was in poor health. On 28 May 2009 the Migration Board found that his medical condition did not constitute an impediment to enforcement. 14.  In a second request for review of the enforcement, the applicant added that his illegal departure from Eritrea and application for asylum abroad marked him as a traitor. On 27 October 2011 the Migration Board found that the request did not refer to any new circumstances giving reason to review the case. On 30 November 2011 the Migration Court upheld the Board’s decision.
