SECOND SECTION

Application no. 2116/21 Thi Kim Oanh NGUYEN against Denmark lodged on 22 December 2020 communicated on 19 April 2022

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The applicant is a Vietnamese national. She entered Denmark at the age of 13. By a judgment which became final on 22 October 2020, the applicant was convicted of drug offences. She was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months’ imprisonment and expelled from Denmark with a re-entry ban for 12 years.

The applicant complained that the order expelling her 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 1 year and 6 months’ imprisonment, would the order to expel her from the country with a 12-year re-entry ban be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, for example, Veljkovic-Jukic v. Switzerland , no. 59534/14, 21 July 2020)?
