(Local) The government is to work for tough new laws on citizens convicted of foreign militant activity, but is likely to be challenged by parties to its left.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, along with Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup and Minister for Immigration and Integration Mattias Tesfaye, were on Thursday scheduled to present the government’s proposals to introduce stricter rules against what it terms “foreign fighters” (fremmedkrigere).
According to reports in Danish media on Thursday, those proposals include a ban on entering Denmark as well as a contact ban for persons convicted of terrorism.
Additionally, the government will be able to give full custody to the non-convicted parent in cases where a parent is convicted as a foreign militant.
