(AhlulBayt News Agency) - "I am now asking the attorney general to reconsider whether it is possible to bring a case to trial to dissolve Hizb-ut-Tahrir," Barfoed told the Ritzau news agency.
When contacted by a news agency, his spokesman Emil Melchior confirmed the information, saying the minister made his request following an invitation sent out by Hizb-ut-Tahrir (Party of Liberation) on Tuesday to a meeting in Copenhagen.
The invitation reportedly hailed armed battle against Danish soldiers in Afghanistan, and portrayed pictures of coffins draped with Danish, Swedish and Norwegian flags on a map of the war-torn country.
After the invitation appeared, the far-right anti-immigrant Danish People's Party, a key ally of the centre-right government, immediately called for the organisation to be banned, while other parties called for a probe of its activities.
This is the third time Denmark's top prosecutor is pressured to take a stand on the legality of the Islamist party, which has already been banned in a number of countries, mainly in Central Asia and the Middle East.
