The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) upheld the lower appellate court’s procedural ruling by lifting the refusal to admit revision and explicitly granting leave to appeal the merits, thereby allowing the case to proceed to the BVerwG’s First Senate for a final decision. The dispute concerns an asylum application challenging a denial of refugee status, specifically involving the legal assessment of a "strong presumption" that a Syrian national’s refusal to perform military service constitutes persecution for the purposes of asylum protection. The decisive legal basis centers on § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, as the court identified a question of fundamental significance regarding how national courts must apply European Court of Justice standards for establishing and rebutting such presumptions under Articles 9(2)(e) and 10 of Directive 2011/95/EU (transposed into § 3a Abs. 2 Nr. 5 and § 3a Abs. 3 i.V.m. § 3b AsylG) within the framework of judicial conviction under § 108 Abs. 1 VwGO.
