Greenlandic Keira Alexandra Kronvold will win on Friday a decision in principle in the Western High Court regarding the forced removal of her daughter shortly after birth in 2024.
This is according to the woman's lawyer, Gert Dyrn.
- This means that this removal immediately after birth was not legal, he says.
The case has been discussed because of the so-called parental competence examination - FKU - which are psychological tests that were used in connection with the forced removal of children until 2025.
However, in 2025 the government chose to drop the use of the examinations and instead oblige the municipalities to use a special advisory unit in placement cases of Greenlandic children.
In Friday's decision in the Western High Court, the court firstly assessed that the investigations that were the basis for the forced removal of Keira Alexandra Kronvold's child in 2024 were too old.
In addition, there were no investigations in her case that met the requirements set by the convention for the special circumstances that must be taken into account in relation to Greenlanders, says her lawyer.
The decision concerns the actual forced removal of the child at birth - and not the fact that the child was removed today.
