Denmark’s top court to rule on ‘parallel societies’ after ‘non-western’ people evicted

Government claims removal of former residents of housing complex in Helsingør is unrelated to their ethnicity Denmark’s supreme court is expected to rule on whether the state’s classification of residents with “non-western” backgrounds is covered by racial discrimination law.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the same Supreme Court challenge to Denmark’s “parallel societies” policy and the eviction of residents from a housing complex in Helsingør. The Guardian US foregrounds the government’s claim that the removals were unrelated to ethnicity and says the court is expected to rule on whether the “non-western” classification falls under racial discrimination law. Al Jazeera instead frames the issue as a broader question about Denmark separating “Western” and “non-Western” citizens, and in its extract only says the evicted families are taking the controversial “ghetto law” to the Supreme Court.
