Three Afghan interpreters who worked for the Swedish military in Afghanistan get a residence permit in Sweden.
Migration Court unravels the decision by the Swedish Migration Board because of the “special connection” to Sweden, reported Sydsvenskan.
the tours have been many around the four Afghan interpreters who have been refused their applications for residence permits by the Immigration Service. The justification for the refusal was that they can not apply for asylum if they are not in Sweden.
Accuses Sweden
But now run the Migration Court of the Migration Board and that three of the interpreters permit on the basis of “special connection” to Sweden in accordance with the European Convention, reports Sydsvenskan.
the interpreters have worked for the Swedish ISAF force in Afghanistan. Many of the interpreters who worked for the Swedish military has accused Sweden of having abandoned them, even though they risked their lives during the mission in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The conditions have been difficult when NATO forces retreated and the Taliban returned.
“An overall assessment”
To the interpreters now get a residence permit may be regarded as a victory for them.
– an overall assessment of their service for the Swedish force and what the undisputed stated about their situation means that three of the interpreters, in regard to the European Convention, is deemed to have special ties to Sweden, says chief District Court Judge Frederick Löndah to Sydsvenskan.
the fourth interpreter denied the permit because it is unclear whether he worked for the ISAF force.
