Politinis prieglobstis

Right of asylum (or political asylum, from the Greek: ἄσυλον) is an ancient juridical notion, under which a person persecuted for political opinions or religious beliefs in his or her own country may be protected by another sovereign authority, a foreign country, or church sanctuaries (as in medieval times). This right has its roots in a longstanding Western tradition—although it was already recognized by the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Hebrews — Descartes went to the Netherlands, Voltaire to England, Hobbes to France (followed by many English nobles during the English Civil War, etc.; each state offered protection to foreign persecuted persons.

The asylum in the European Union was formed since a half-century in its Member States by application of the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951 on the Status of Refugees.

Prieglobstis gali būti teisinis, politinis.

Suomijos migracijos tarnyba suteikė politinį prieglobstį Chadižat ir Malikui Gatajevams, kurie iš Lietuvos buvo priversti pasitraukti dėl Valstybės saugumo departamento (VSD) persekiojimo.

Tai nuosprendis ir visai Lietuvos teisinei sistemai.

Tai pirmas atvejis Europos istorijoje, kai trečiosios šalies - Rusijos - piliečiams suteikiama apsauga nuo vienos iš Europos Sąjungos (ES) narių, šiuo atveju Lietuvos, kitoje.
