Following similar moves by Germany, Iran, and Turkey, Sweden has reportedly issued an ultimatum for Afghan refugees to leave the country. The Swedish Minister for Immigration has taken a strong stance, stating that criminal Afghan migrants cannot be allowed to remain in Europe under any circumstances.
According to international media reports, Sweden has requested the European Union to implement a unified documentation system for Afghan refugees. The proposal aims to track movements and verify legal status across all EU member states, making coordinated deportations easier. The Swedish government emphasizes that those involved in criminal activities cannot be integrated into Swedish society or allowed to access European rights and benefits.
The Immigration Minister stated that Afghan refugees implicated in crimes represent a serious threat to public security and social order. “Criminal Afghan migrants cannot become part of our society,” the minister declared, underscoring the government’s zero-tolerance policy. Officials also stressed that swift deportation measures should be enforced to prevent further escalation of crime and to maintain law and order.
Sweden has suggested a centralized approach, proposing that all criminal or illegal Afghan refugees in Europe be gathered in one location before being deported via charter flights. The plan has reportedly received agreement from other EU countries, signaling a continent-wide effort to handle the issue efficiently while minimizing legal and logistical challenges.
Experts note that while the refugee crisis remains a humanitarian concern, balancing security with humanitarian obligations is critical. Sweden’s proposal for EU-wide coordination is seen as a pragmatic step to address security risks without compromising the overall refugee protection framework.
As European nations grapple with the complex challenges of Afghan migration, Sweden’s call for a unified EU strategy highlights the tension between maintaining security and managing the humanitarian needs of refugees. The initiative may set a precedent for future coordinated responses to cross-border migration and criminal activity within the EU.
