In a statement published on its website on 6 August, Aditus made reference to the AIDA report on Malta published by ECRE and stated that Malta’s asylum experience in 2024 constituted an increased use of detention, less irregular arrivals and harsher judgements.
In its statement Aditus flagged the following issues: access to the territory, detention upon applying for asylum, appeals mechanism regarding detention decisions does not meet ECHR standards, derivative status of family members and loss of protection.
