The decision to return the asylum seekers was made by the Finnish Immigration Service and the Administrative Court of Helsinki.
Before coming to Finland, the asylum seekers arrived in Hungary via Serbia and applied for asylum in Hungary in September 2014.
According to the Supreme Administrative Court, there was a genuine threat that the asylum seekers would be deported from Hungary back to Serbia, if they were to be sent back.
Hungary is the only country in the European Union which considers Serbia safe for asylum seekers.
In July 2015, the government of Hungary through a decree added Serbia to the list of safe countries. No other EU country considers Serbia a safe country for asylum seekers.
According to the Supreme Administrative Court, there is no guarantee that the return of the asylum seekers to Hungary would prevent them from being subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment.
