Krekar, founder of the militant Islamic Kurdish guerrilla group Ansar al-Islam, can finally be legally deported from Norway, but will not be until his home country of Iraq is considered safe by Norwegian authorities.
In the interim, Krekar will likely face a type of house arrest that will make it easier to monitor him, radio station P4 reports.
A proposal contained in the new Immigrant Act allows the government to impose a fixed abode for and regular reports from a person deemed a threat to national security. A recent Supreme Court ruling confirmed that there were grounds to assess Krekar a threat to national security.
"The proposal means that Krekar may also be forbidden from staying at certain locations," said state secretary at the Ministry of Labor and Social Inclusion Libe Rieber-Mohn.
"We want to increase security. At the same time, we cannot intern people like Krekar because it would violate international conventions," Rieber-Mohn said.
