Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has filed for a restraining order against a 35-year-old man, the Helsinki District Court confirmed Thursday.
The case is scheduled to be heard Friday morning, the court told local media, although no details were provided about the reasons for Marin’s request.
Restraining orders in Finland are typically issued to protect individuals from harassment, threats or unwanted contact. They can be requested to prevent the subject of the order from approaching or communicating with the petitioner.
The man’s identity has not been disclosed. However, according to Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, he is not a public figure in Finland
According to the paper, the Helsinki District Court issued an extended restraining order against the same individual at the end of last year to protect a woman in her 30s.
Marin served as prime minister of Finland from 2019 to 2023, leading a female-majority cabinet and making history as the world’s youngest female prime minister.
After narrowly losing an election in April 2023, Marin stepped down as chair of her Social Democratic Party and in September that year joined the Tony Blair Institute as a strategic counsellor.
