Jail for Danish ex-minister for asylum separations – BBC News


A former Danish immigration minister has been found guilty of illegally separating young asylum-seeking couples in a landmark impeachment trial.

Judges ruled Inger Stoejberg’s decision in 2016 to separate couples was unlawful and jailed her for 60 days.

Ms Stoejberg said she was very surprised by the verdict as the policy was designed to combat child marriage.

The case was Denmark’s first impeachment trial in three decades and only the sixth in its history.

"It’s not just me who has lost but Danish values have lost too," she told reporters outside the court, adding that she would accept her punishment but had no regrets.
