Last year almost half the number of young asylum seekers who had come to Sweden without their parents or other relatives were turned down and expelled to their conflict-ridden home countries and a highly uncertain future.The refusal to let him stay in Sweden now drove a 17-year old Iraqi boy to an act of utter despair. He locked himself in his room in a refugee lodging in the central Swedish town of Eskilstuna, then drenched himself and the furniture with lighter fluid and threatened to set himself on fire. A police spokesman said that crisis experts managed to persuade the boy to abstain from his plan. He was taken to the psychiatric care unit of the town hospital. sr.se |
