Following an application from Säpo, a man was deported in 2019. But the deportation could not be carried out due to so-called obstacles to enforcement. Instead, the man received a reporting obligation that applies until 2025. It reports the newspaper Dagens Juridik.
At the end of last year, Säpo also applied for the man to be prohibited from leaving Kristianstad municipality as long as he was subject to a notification obligation. Säpo referred, among other things, to the fact that the ban is needed to prevent physical meetings within certain groups and that there is still a risk of the man committing or participating in terrorist crimes.
The public interest weighs the most
The man objected to the stay ban, but the Stockholm district court followed Säpo’s line and considered that there was a need for the ban.
The decision was appealed to the Svea Court of Appeal, where the man pointed out, among other things, that the residence ban affects his children.
However, the Court of Appeal judged that there were not sufficiently strong reasons for the man’s interest to outweigh that of the public, and ruled that the decision cannot be considered to be in conflict with either the European Convention or the Convention on the Rights of the Child, according to Dagens Juridik.
SVT Nyheter Skåne has contacted the man’s lawyer for a comment.
