Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

The Swedish Migration Agency decided in 2019 that the man would be deported from Sweden with the support of the Act on Closed Youth Care (LSU). But there were obstacles to deportation and the man was instead required to report and certain coercive measures.

Last year, the Security Police requested that the man be banned from leaving his home municipality to prevent meetings with certain groups. According to Säpo, there was otherwise a risk that he would commit terrorist crimes or other crimes against the security of the kingdom.

The Stockholm district court followed Säpo’s line with reference to the public interest. Now the Svea Court of Appeal rejects the man’s appeal and notes that the residence ban is not in conflict with the European Convention or the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In a similar case, the Svea Court of Appeal recently decided that a man is banned from leaving Kristianstad. There too, Säpo assesses that the suspect could commit terrorist crimes.
