On Monday, the Oslo District Court decided that the suspect should be interned at the Police’s Immigration Service (PU) for up to four weeks. In the meantime, the Directorate of Immigration must decide whether the man fulfills the requirements to be granted residence in Norway. Fearing for his life because he is gay The man in his 20s explained himself in the Oslo District Court on Monday. The court had to decide whether he should be detained after the police in Trondheim did not think there was any reason to keep him in custody any longer. At the beginning of May, he was arrested in Trondheim, at the house of a family member. The person offered a secret address because the police feared the person concerned could be accused of defamation. It was the victim who notified the police when the charge was on the door. In the Oslo district court, the man said that he feared for his life because of his posture. Therefore, he does not wish to be sent out of Norway again. This is clear from the court decision. Has applied for asylum in Norway twice before The man came from a country in Eastern Europe and to Croatia. Therefore, he must apply for asylum in Croatia because it was the first Schengen country he came to, according to the Dublin Convention. The man later ended up in Norway, but was returned to Croatia before Christmas last year. He had explained to the police that he feared for his life because of his orientation.

After he visited the family member, he was charged under section 279 of the Criminal Code, which deals with conspiracy to commit murder. This means that at least two people have entered into an agreement to injure or kill another person. He denies criminal liability. Another person was also charged for the same relationship. He was seen free after questioning, according to the police in Trondheim. High risk of suicide The Police’s Immigration Unit asked that the suspect be detained to prevent him from disappearing and thus resist being sent out of the country again. PU won in court. The court writes about the accused’s fear of being killed: At the court hearing, defense attorney Eirik Svingen Bjørgo presented a written report from a psychologist who examined the accused while he was in custody in Trondheim. Here it appears that the target has a high risk of suicide. The Oslo District Court believes it is important that the suspect receives the health care he needs while he is detained.
