Some 40 asylum seekers who bussed over 100 mil from Malmö to Hinge boss asylum accommodation outside Östersund feel duped by the Swedish Migration Board. They feel that they have not received any accurate information about where they were going and they were very upset now tonight.
– No one told us we would go. Then we were told that we would go 40 minutes from Stockholm and in the end we had gone 15 hours, says one of the asylum seekers men who had come with the bus.
The bus that asylum seekers come with stands still parked outside one of the houses on asylum accommodation. It is located in the woods about 2 mil from Östersund and was a military facility before it became asylum accommodation a few years ago.
It’s dark, around freezing and icy out there, and most passengers are still around the bus; freezes and is angry. They have fled from Syria and Iraq and have come to Sweden and Malmö in recent days and weeks.
When they arrived, they wanted at first did not even have to leave the bus. All day long the staff at the asylum accommodation stew tried to persuade them to go in and get warm and eat. The police were called, but since it only requires a so-called eviction procedure for police to evict them from the bus, they could not do anything.
Pernilla Arvidsson who works at the asylum accommodation and says she’s never been anything like it. Most of them say that applicants intend to sleep in it tonight. They wish they atleast not stay in this part of Sweden. They do not feel safe.
– It is too far from town. It is isolated. And it’s cold, says one of the asylum seekers.
Migration Board spokesperson Sophia Öhvall Lindberg says she does not know exactly what information the asylum seekers received, but it will be examined.
The show asylum seekers up the pieces where there is a time and a departure time. But where does it say anything about the destination and asylum seekers think that the Swedish Migration Board lied to them.
– They lied to us. We asked many questions but got no response. The bus driver was the one who was with and he did not answer any questions. He drove the bus.
Migration Board Sophia Öhvall Lindberg also says that the Migration Board provides the asylum seekers accommodation, and if the asylum seekers are not satisfied with it, they may be happy to arrange accommodation on their own.
The accommodation can be for these people in the night become the bus they gone in. They talk about the hunger strike, they get naked nude protest. The Swedish Migration Board is now preparing to send staff to the stew and the asylum seekers will say to them that they want to go anywhere else.
– We want to go somewhere else, closer to the city.
