The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's appeal against the refusal of Finnish citizenship. The applicant argued that the lower administrative court failed to properly assess the evidence regarding their residence and integration into Finnish society. The court held that the refusal was justified because the applicant could not substantiate their claims with the necessary documentation and failed to meet the statutory requirements for naturalization.
