Sanna Marin has requested a restraining order against a man

Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has filed a restraining order against a 35-year-old man, the Helsinki District Court confirmed on Thursday

The case is scheduled to be heard on Friday morning, the court told local media, although no details were provided about the reasons for Marin's request. Restraining orders in Finland are usually 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 revealed. However, according to Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, he is not a public figure in Finland. According to the publication, the Helsinki District Court issued an extended restraining order against the same person late last year to protect a 30-year-old woman.

Marin served as Prime Minister of Finland from 2019 to 2023, leading a cabinet with a female majority and making history as the youngest female prime minister in the world.

After narrowly losing the April 2023 elections, Marin resigned as president of the Social Democratic Party and, in September of that year, joined the Tony Blair Institute as a strategic advisor.
