The applicants, Roma citizens of Hungary, sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) denying their claims for refugee protection.
The RPD had rejected their claims primarily on credibility grounds and an availability of state protection in Hungary.
The Federal Court allowed the application for judicial review, finding the RPD's credibility findings unreasonable due to misstatements of evidence and failure to properly consider psychological reports and police inaction concerning racially motivated hate crimes.
