FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 2852/24
Khaled MIARI
against Denmark
lodged on 26 January 2024
communicated on 7 February 2024
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applicant is a stateless person of Palestinian origin who was born in 1972. He entered Denmark when he was 13 years old. By a High Court judgment, which became final on 29 September 2023, the applicant was convicted of drug offences. He was sentenced to 3 years’ imprisonment and expelled from Denmark with a re-entry ban for 6 years.
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 had resided legally in Denmark for 34 years, and was sentenced to 3 years’ imprisonment, would the order to expel him from the country, with a 6-year re-entry ban, be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, for example, Abdi v. Denmark, no. 41643/19, 14 September 2021, and Sharifi v. Denmark, no. 31434/21, 5 September 2023)?
