The case involved a Latvian woman who had fled with her two children from South Africa due to violence. During a transit in Denmark, she is arrested by the Danish police and remanded in custody in Vestre Fængsel. Here she has been remanded in custody for more than 1.5 years without being able to obtain a fair trial. Latvia repeatedly asks Denmark to extradite their citizens.
And
The Eastern High Court sentenced her to travel to South Africa, where she could risk 15 years in prison and be killed. The day before the departure was to take place, Latvia issued an arrest warrant for her so that she could be brought to Latvia and put before a judge for the crime that Latvia used in the arrest warrant.
And
A heartfelt thank you to civil society:
The protests of civil society meant that we saved a woman's life and the right of two children to have their mother.
Today, she is with her family again, and states herself that if the international civil society had not supported her, she would not be alive today.
