AS and DD (Libya) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2008] EWCA Civ 289; [2008] WLR (D) 104

In order to show strong grounds for believing that a foreign national if deported would face a real risk of being subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment in breach of art 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms it was necessary to produce evidence, not mere speculation, to establish that risk. That was a stringent test, requiring rigorous examination of the evidence.”
