The case concerns the Danish authorities’ decision in 2018 to expel the applicant, with a permanent
ban on his re-entry to the country, following his conviction for possession of a firearm.
Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention, the
applicant submits that, in their decisions, the Danish courts failed to weigh in the balance that he did
not have a significant criminal past, that he had never been issued with a warning that he might be
expelled, and that he had strong ties to Denmark where he has lived with his family since he was
four years old.
Relying on Article 2 (right to life) and Article 3 (prohibition on inhuman or degrading treatment), the
applicants complain that their expulsion to Syria would put them at grave physical risk. Some of the
applicants also complain under Article 13 (right to an effective remedy) that they had no effective
domestic remedies in respect of their complaints under Articles 2 and 3 that their detention pending
removal was arbitrary and the examination of their complaints against detention orders was not
speedy.
