Expulsion without trial?

Two Tunisians who are suspected together with a Dane of Moroccan origins of plotting to kill the graphic artist who drew the Muhammad caricatures are to be expelled from Denmark. No official reason has been given for the expulsion and there has been no trial. The newspaper writes: "At the heart of the debate about foreigners judged by the PET [secret service] to be a threat to the country's security or to public order is the question of whether we want to accept secret court actions or secret agreements between government authorities if they only affect these foreigners. Or whether we want to do everything possible to adhere to democratic legal principles for everyone living in our country. We would be doing a service to foreigners, Danes and the PET alike if we removed uncertainties in the application of the terrorism laws."
