SECOND SECTION

Application no. 11093/22 Sahin DAVUD KIBAR against Denmark lodged on 21 February 2022 communicated on 19 April 2022

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The applicant is a Turkish national, born in Denmark. By a final Supreme Court judgment of 21 October 2021, the applicant was convicted, notably, of being in possession of a loaded gun in a public place. He was sentenced to 3 years and 3 months’ imprisonment and expelled from Denmark with a life ‑ long ban on returning.

The applicant complained that the order expelling him from Denmark was in violation of Article 8 of the Convention.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Having regard, in particular, to the fact that the applicant was sentenced to 3 years and 3 months’ imprisonment, would the order to expel him from the country with a permanent re-entry ban be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, for example, Abdi v. Denmark , no. 41643/19, 14 September 2021)?
