The Swiss court considered the petition made by the asylum seeker, who had been instructed to show up at Holot for indefinite detention. In his petition, the person expressed concern that he would be deported back to Eritrea, since his residence permit was revoked after he was summoned to Holot. The Swiss court emphasized that Holot is located in the desert, surrounded by a fence and far from any settlement, with inmates forbidden from seeking employment outside the facility. The court determined that this person is at risk of being deported to Eritrea, or to a third country (Uganda), in which his potential fate is unclear. Under these circumstances, the court ruled that it would be unreasonable to demand that he stay in Israel.
