(Copenhagen Post) A 25-year-old dual citizen who was one of three foreign fighters stripped of their Danish citizenship last month has decided to sue immigration minister Mattias Tesfaye.
The man’s lawyer confirmed the lawsuit, contending that Tesfaye’s decision violates article 3 of the Danish Constitution.
In this case, the man was also a Turkish citizen, had already been summoned by the Danish police for terrorism, and there was an arrest warrant out for him.
The new law allows Danes with dual citizenships who have exhibited behaviour contrary to Denmark’s vital interests, including fighting for Islamic State, to be stripped of their Danish citizenship.
