The Swedish migration board: the Uighurs get refugee status

"The Swedish migration board: the Uighurs get refugee status,"

"the Uighurs and other muslim minorities fleeing from China to Sweden will be easier to get a residence permit."

"In a new position of the switch, the migration board held that it is enough to be uygur in itself, there is a risk of persecution, reports Swedish Radio's Ekot."

"– That we've seen is that it is a rather far-reaching state repression. Where you can arrest and detain people without real criminal allegations. You are placed in what is described as re-education camps. This is done arbitrarily, " says Carl Bexelius, deputy director for legal affairs at the Swedish migration board, to the radio."

"the Deportation of the uighurs was stopped already in september and the situation in the chinese Xinjiang province, where muslim religious practice in the practice is prohibited, has worsened, according to the authority. Some arrested arbitrarily and placed in the so-called re-education camps."

"Carl Bexelius don't think Sweden will get more asylum seekers uighurs by reason of the decision."

"No, we have relatively few asylum seekers from China and we decided not to expel these groups are already in september and we saw no increase then," he says."
