Swedish Migration Agency: Syria Migrants in Need of Protection

The Swedish Migration Agency said asylum seekers from Syria are still in need of protection as the status quo has not changed in Syria.

Over recent years, the Swedish Migration Agency has turned down several applications for humanitarian asylum by Palestinian refugees fleeing Damascus, claiming the city is a secure zone and the refugees can safely return to it.

A refugee told AGPS he had appealed the Agency’s decision, saying his family had been chased down by the Syrian security forces and once they return to Damascus they will be arrested.

Human rights activists said Sweden no longer considers Syria an unsafe place for refugees. In order for visa applications to be accepted, the refugee should provide proofs of personal threats.
