SECOND SECTION

Application no. 61203/19 Marwa RESTHTIN against Denmark lodged on 25 November 2019 communicated on 19 April 2022

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The applicant is an Afghan national, born in Denmark. By a judgment which became final on 24 May 2019, the applicant was convicted for having attempted to join Islamic State in Syria with the purpose of committing terrorist crimes. She was sentenced to 3 years’ imprisonment and expelled from Denmark with a life-long ban on returning.

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 3 years’ imprisonment, would the order to expel her from the country with a life-long ban on returning be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, notably Adam Johansen v. Denmark (dec.), 27801/19, 1 February 2022 and Laraba v. Denmark (dec.), 26781/19, 22 March 2022 [1] )?
