Following an application from SAPO, a man was deported in 2019. But the deportation could not be carried out due to so-called enforcement obstacles. Instead, the man was given a notification obligation, which is valid until 2025. This is reported by the newspaper Dagens Juridik.
At the end of last year, SAPO also applied for the man to be banned from leaving Kristianstad municipality as long as he was under the obligation to report. SAPO 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 that the man commits or participates in terrorist crimes.
The public interest is the most important
The man opposed the stay, but the Stockholm District Court followed SAPO'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 stay ban affects his children.
However, the Court of Appeal judged that there had not been sufficiently strong reasons for the man's interest to outweigh the public's, and ruled that the decision cannot be considered to be in violation of either the European Convention on Human Rights or the Convention on the Rights of the Child, according to Dagens Juridik.
SVT Nyheter Skåne has sought the man's lawyer for a comment.
