> Denmark’s supreme court is set to hear an appeal by residents evicted from Nøjsomhed-Sydvej in Helsingør, examining whether the state’s “non-western” classification falls under racial discrimination law. Residents argue the evictions targeted their ethnic background; the government says the classification is unrelated to ethnicity. The ruling could affect others displaced under the “parallel societies” law.
