FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 51301/22 Karnchana WANGTHAN against Denmark lodged on 24 October 2022 communicated on 20 November 2022

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The applicant is a Thai national. She entered Denmark at the age of 37 with her two children. By a High Court judgment, which became final on 5 August 2022, the applicant was convicted of, inter alia, attempted assault with aggravating circumstances. She was sentenced to 6 months’ imprisonment and ordered expelled from Denmark with a 6 ‑ year re ‑ entry ban.

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 6 months’ imprisonment, would the order to expel her from the country with a 6-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)?
