SECOND SECTION
Application no. 44810/20
Omid NOORZAE
against Denmark
lodged on 30 September 2020
communicated on 19 April 2022
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applicant is an Afghan national, who entered Denmark at the age of 5. By a judgment which became final on 1 April 2020, the applicant was convicted of drug offences, assault and making threats. He was sentenced to 1 year and 3 months’ imprisonment and expelled from Denmark with a re‑entry ban for 12 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 was sentenced to 1 year and 3 months’ imprisonment, would the order to expel him 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)?
