Ewa Stenberg: Guantanamosvensken flown home with the minutest - now hesitates about Syrienbarnen

A day of July 2004, the landed government plane at Skavsta airfield near Nyköping, sweden. But there was no minister on the mission that got out. On board were the Swedish citizen Mehdi Ghezali, as since the end of 2001 has been a prisoner at Guantánamo bay in Cuba. The government put 522.500 crowns on the to fly home Ghezali. Minister for foreign affairs Laila Freivalds (S) said that she was glad he was at home, and that ”we cannot accept that the fight against terrorism takes place on a so rättsosäkert way.”

Mehdi Ghezali was captured in connection with the american invasion in Afghanistan. He was taken to the U.S. military base in Cuba, where he was imprisoned without trial and without having been told what he was accused of. The united states said that Ghezali was a ”combatant” captured on the battlefield, in the al-Qaeda - and talibansällskap.

struggled to Ghezali would tread american soil again. In the parliament there was a Guantánamogrupp who fought for the release.

the Socialists Anders Ygeman and the Liberal (now Liberal) Erik Ullenhag, together with members of parliament from the M, C, KD, V, and MP in the group. Ygeman is now minister Ullenhag, is proposed as a new L-leader.

Several of the politicians likely got a bad taste in the mouth when Mehdi Ghezali at a big press conference answered the question about what he thought of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

”I don't think that the americans say about him. There is much that is not true”.

But rättssäkerhetsprinciper and citizenship laws had weighted heavier than doubt when Ghezali brought home. Guantánamosvensken could not be prosecuted, came the Swedish judicial system. Was he still a threat to security was the secret Police in this case to monitor him.

Swedish citizens in the syrian camp. Some of them have been captured when they had fought for the ICE, others have lived in the so-called caliphate.

Many women and children are incarcerated in special camps. When the DN visited Syria, there were 90 swedes listed in the kurdiskkontrollerade the camps of al Hol, and in the Camp Roj. 64 was a child. Almost all of them were under the age of ten, several were born. Now seven of them at home, after some the assistance of the MINISTRY for foreign affairs, the orphaned Skråmobarnen. The rest is probably left.

When american soldiers in the beginning of this year captured over 800 suspects are IS-fighters flew to the USA not them to Guantánamo. Instead called on the president Trump their allies to take back their nationals and bring them to justice.

He was greeted by the cold shoulder from prime minister Stefan Löfven (S), who said that the government is not going to help Swedish citizens that joined and fought for the terrorsekten IS to return home.

”Sweden and the ministry for foreign affairs has since 2011 recommended to avoid travel to the region. Those who do should not expect any consular help from Sweden,” said Löfven to the SVT.

for the children, to the Swedish ICE-members where the prime minister is not as safe. ”I have no solution for it now,” he said in February.

Since its turn ministers plagued when they have questions and give very brief answers.

A government that introduced the UN child convention in Swedish law in a country with claims to be a humanitarian power in the world seem to prefer the Swedish citizens will be left down there, in any case, those who do not is small and orphaned.

the Government and several opposition parties would like to see an international tribunal that will judge ICE-combatants, but this takes a long time to create and there are many obstacles.

”It would be best if we could have an international tribunal where the countries of Europe help each other to ask adults who may have committed very serious crimes to account. Then you would be able to make it common and give the period of grace, in the camps so that families can be left there for so long.”, said M-leader Ulf Kristersson for a little over a week ago.

It can still give the opinionspoäng to stand up for peace and security in other countries, children's rights and the Swedish citizens ' security. But the damage on one of the swedes that is downloaded then commits a terrorist attack is milsvitt greater.

the Face of such a political risk assessment is the old principles of the plain.
