Some countries are doing little to nothing to help Syrian refugees. Other countries are doing quite a bit. What many around the world do not know is Sweden has been going above and beyond. Facebook's The Christian Left shared a story that reports Sweden was the first country in the EU to offer permanent residency to refugees from Syria. News agency TT/The Local reported in 2013:
The decision covers all asylum seekers from Syria who have been granted temporary residency in Sweden for humanitarian protection. They will now receive permanent residence permits, the Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) announced on Tuesday.
In 2012 and 2013, a total of 14,700 Syrian asylum seekers came to Sweden. Together with Germany, Sweden is the EU country which has accepted the highest number of asylum seekers from the war-torn country.
In its statement, the Migration Board warned that asylum seekers who may be guilty of war crimes or crimes against humanity for their actions in Syria would lose their right to be classified as refugees or in need of protection.
There is an assessment:
The assessment is based on whether a person has an individual or general need for protection. As the situation in Syria has deteriorated and is now "extreme and marked by general violence" with no solution in sight, the agency has judged the poor security situation in Syria to be permanent.
They will also have the right to bring their families to Sweden.
this is great i have one question directed to the republican congress the ones who hold the purse string, "where is the greatest country in the world, the religious right don't they believe in the real teachings of the Bible or are they holding the strings to fund the 61 repeal of ObamaCares or support the party of hates bid for the WH???
this should be a snapshot of the future and right wing rule and what it does to it's people and potentially we the people Assad created the atmosphere that led to this, supported by right wings of the world.
