STOP DEPORTATIONS to Afghanistan! Oct 22, 2016

SATURDAY OCTOBER 22, 2016 thousands of people in 16 towns in Sweden, demonstrated against deportations to Afghanistan. Most of the manifestations were arranged by Hazara or Afghan organisations like the Swedish branch of Shahmama & Salsal, or by the organization of separated children, "Ensamkommandes Förbund". There is also a quickly growing movement of teachers, employees at youth homes, guardians and foster parents who protest Swedens new rules for separated children which will lead to frequent deportations of children turning 18 (or being defined as 18 after decision of the Migration Agency). Many of them also showed up at the manifestations.
200 Afghan Youth marched 18 miles, in 6 hours, from the suburb of Tumba to the demonstration in Stockholm City. I met and joined them at Älvsjö Station.
