Swedish Migration Agency Provides New Assessment of Asylum Seekers

The Swedish Migration Agency (SMA) has conducted a new assessment of asylum seekers from Syria.

It said the security situation in Syria continues to be very serious. The level of conflict in over half of the country’s provinces remains life-threatening. However, an asylum-seeker should submit strong proof that his/her life is at risk.

SMA said that in the past year, the Syrian state has increased its recruitment to the military. At the same time, the UN reports that the Syrian army is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. In addition, anyone refusing to do military service or deserting is at risk of severe punishment.

The law states that anyone at risk of being forced to commit or participate in war crimes or crimes against humanity has a right to protection in Sweden. The Swedish Migration Agency therefore now assesses that inpiduals who are at risk of having to do military service if they return to Syria may have a right to refugee status.

It is mainly men aged 18 to 42 who are affected, but every application will be examined inpidually.

If an asylum seeker has received a refusal of entry or an expulsion order that no longer can be appealed, but risk being inducted into national military service if he/she must return to Syria, he/she can contact the Swedish Migration Agency. It will then make an inpidual examination of the circumstances in his/her case and decide if the grounds he/she presented give them the right to stay in Sweden.
