A recent ruling by the Copenhagen City Court has deemed a 58-year-old Iraqi citizen living at the Kærshovedgård asylum center a continued threat to state security. The court's decision affirms the Justice Minister's assessment that the man has expressed anti-democratic views and provides no grounds for reinstating his residency permit. Over the years, he has unsuccessfully attempted to challenge this evaluation in court.

The individual involved has a background from Turkmenistan and was administratively expelled back in 2009. At that time, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) identified him as part of a network alleged to have sent approximately 30 terrorists to Iraq, although he has never been formally charged with any crime. Following his expulsion, he has remained in a state of tolerated residency, required to report daily to the center's staff.

Recent discussions during the court proceedings revealed rumors circulating in Kærshovedgård about his potential leadership of a Scandinavian terrorist cell. Given these allegations and the ongoing concerns about his ideological stance, the court upheld its previous findings, resulting in the continuation of his confinement at the asylum center. The implications of this case touch on broader issues of national security and immigration policy in Denmark, highlighting the challenges faced by authorities in managing individuals identified as risks to public safety.
