- So far, nine
out of ten people seeking asylum in Sweden have not had
identification. You can then adapt your background story to increase
your chances of being granted asylum.
- Stockholm's
Chief Press Officer had written that the police might be perceived as
racist, and therefore should not report physical descriptions to the
public. Ironically, it is the journalists who have more or less
forced the police to stop using descriptions such as skin color – by
labeling the police "racist" every time a person of color
appears on a wanted list.
- "There are
those who wish to make this an issue of ethnicity. It is not. It is
an issue that concerns culture and values. Our free and open society
is founded on personal freedom, Western humanitarianism and
Christian ethics. These values must not only be upheld, they must be
defended." -- Ebba Busch Thor, leader of the Christian
Democrats party, in Svenska Dagbladet
On January 14, an 18-year-old was indicted for a hand
grenade attack against police in Stockholm last year. Left: A police van
is riddled with shrapnel (left) from the hand grenade attack. The four
policemen in the vehicle at the time could have been killed if the van
had not been armored. At right, the Malmö police bomb squad disarms a
hand grenade found in Landskrona, on September 22.
January 4: After an autumn of chaos, when huge numbers of asylum
seekers flooded into Sweden, the government was finally forced to
implement border controls on its border with Denmark. Now, only those
with valid identification documents are allowed to board trains and
ferries to Sweden -- effectively keeping people who have destroyed their
IDs out of the country. How long it will take before most asylum seekers
bring identification papers -- genuine or fake -- remains to be seen. So
far, nine out of ten people seeking asylum in Sweden have not had
identification. They can then adapt their background stories to increase
their chances of being granted asylum.
