(Local) The Danish supreme court, Højesteret, has overruled a 2020 decision to revoke the citizenship of a Danish-Iranian woman who travelled to Syria in support of the Islamic State (Isis) terror group.
The Ministry for Immigration and Integration failed to take into account a requirement to apply “proportionality” when it revoked the woman’s citizenship in 2020, the supreme court said in the ruling on Wednesday.
The ministry is only allowed to revoke Danish citizenship from a person if they do not become stateless as a result.
The [woman] was born in Denmark and received Danish citizenship at birth along with Iranian citizenship, through her father.
