Asylum Seeker Suicides On The Rise In Sweden

... The migrants have two things in common, all were young Afghan asylum seekers, and they were all scheduled to be deported. The problem is especially prevalent among young asylum seekers who even encourage others to kill themselves online Deutschlandfunk reports. SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER. Psychologist Julia Tiberg works with young migrants at Vi står inte ut, an organisation dedicated to helping young asylum seekers in Sweden. Tilberg said, “We observe young asylum seekers in closed internet forums encouraging each other to commit suicide,” adding, “suicide is also considered moral by the group and is for the sake of others, to affect the current policy.”. Ombudsman Fredrik Malmberg has backed up the claims saying, “I have been informed by the social authority that there are seemingly organised suicidal thoughts among asylum seekers without families, which is extremely worrying because several of them have actually committed suicide.”. In the past year around 3,000 underage Afghan migrants have arrived in Sweden and 600 of them have been rejected for asylum status. Of those rejected, many have been allowed to stay in Sweden because they claim ...

Donald Trump Is Right, There Was A Recent Attack In Sweden. By Neo-nazis On A Refugee Centre

... Mr Trump focused on migration in Europe during his speech and linked it to terror attacks in Brussels, Nice and Paris - before adding Sweden to the list. Mandelson says public will change its mind about Brexit. The world reacted with confusion after Donald Trump cited a Swedish terrorist attack during a campaign-style rally in Florida that appeared never to have happened. One of the country's official Twitter accounts, controlled by a different citizen each week, said: "Nothing has happened here in Sweden. There has not [been] any terrorist attacks here. At all.". However, despite widespread debunking of his claims, it has since emerged a largely underreported attack did, in fact, occur last month. Read more.

Is Sweden's Feminist Agenda Working

... to Iran, for instructing female officials to comply with Iran's headscarf law. Last year, a report by a coalition of civil society and women's organisations condemned Sweden's continuing arms exports to countries that violate women's rights. That was "totally incompatible" with a feminist foreign policy, it said, as was the government's policy ending the right of family reunification for refugees, hitting women and girls left behind in war-torn countries. Image copyright IRNA. Image caption Trade Minister Ann Linde led a business delegation to Iran last week. During most of the past century, the Nordic countries have been dominated by centre-left Social Democrats who championed women's rights. But there have been big changes in recent years. The governments of Finland and Norway are coalitions with nationalist parties, while the minority administration in Denmark depends on support from the far right. These administrations are more sceptical about liberal or feminist ideas, and are more conservative on issues such as the family. Feminists in Sweden therefore feel that this puts more responsibility on Stockholm to stand up for ...

Trump Lied About Immigrant Crime And Terror Attack On Sweden That Never Happened

... at the Globe and Mail quoted an actual academic who actually studies these things: “What we’re hearing is a very, very extreme exaggeration based on a few isolated events, and the claim that it’s related to immigration is more or less not true at all,” says Jerzy Sarnecki, a criminologist at Stockholm University who has devoted his career to the study of criminality, ethnicity and age.”. Swedes are extremely feminist and define all sorts of things as rape (taking off a condom during sex without informing one’s partner e.g.) as rape that would not be considered rape in other countries. To any extent that refugees in Sweden commit petty crime, they do so at the same rate as other people of their social class.  A study cited by Saunders shows that 75% of the difference between native and foreign-born crime rates is accounted for by where people live and how much they make.  He adds, “Among the Swedish-born children of immigrants, the crime rate falls in half (and is almost entirely concentrated in lesser property crimes) and is 100-per-cent attributable to class – they are no more likely to commit crimes, including rape, than ethnic Swedes of the same family income.”  ...

Swedish Embassy’s Cheeky Swipe At Donald Trump

... She’s devoted to Melania Trump and for years has been her best pal __link__/S 9 l M 8 Ws MAO. — New York Post (@nypost) February 19, 2017. And, as the president spends most of his time in Washington and Melania finds herself alone and thrust into an unfamiliar public role, she may be increasingly relying on her beloved sister, who lives only two blocks away. Despite being an in-law of perhaps the most famous man in America, Ms Knauss, a brunette beauty, has received scant attention — with only a single photograph of her appearing in Palm Beach’s society pages. Press reports on the elaborate 2005 nuptials of the Trumps at Mar-a-Lago make fleeting mentions of Ines’ role as maid of honour.

During Saturday's Rally, Trump Seemed To Make Up A Terror Attack In Sweden

... But the remark left Swedes scratching their heads, because no attack had occurred. The Aftonbladet newspaper listed in English some events that had happened Friday in Sweden, including a man being treated for severe burns, an avalanche warning and police chasing a drunken driver. The former Swedish Foreign Minister later mocked Trump's comments in a tweet. Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound. __link__/XWgw 8 Fz 7 tj. — Carl Bildt (@carlbildt) February 19, 2017. Despite the fact that November has long come and gone, the phenomena of the Trump rally felt as if it had been frozen in time, nearly perfectly preserved since the last time the then-candidate strode to the podium and told thousands of his cheering supporters about the woes of the country and the battles he planned to fight — with one of his loudest wars being waged against the news media. "They just don't want to report the truth," Trump said. He assailed journalists as "part of the ...

Swedes Scratch Heads After Trump Says 'look What's Happening Last Night In Sweden

... Sweden's Security Police said it had no reason to change the terror threat level. "Nothing has occurred which would cause us to raise that level," agency spokesman Karl Melin said.

Swedes, in turn, answered Trump's question with a question of their own: "Wait — what?". On Friday night — the night in question — a few things did, in fact, happen in Sweden. A Stockholm newspaper helpfully laid out a few of them. Technical problems threatened to derail a performance by singer Owe Thörnqvist. Harsh weather in the north of the country shut down a road. A high-speed chase in Stockholm ended with the driver under arrest.

Want To Know Exactly As Much About Sweden As The President? Watch This Documentary

... Stockholm Syndrome on the segment Trump watched, saving time to interview the filmmaker about refugee aid—or, as Carlson calls it, “the masochism of the west,”—spread lies about “no-go zones,” and tut-tut at the luxurious lives of refugees in Sweden. But does the full film paint a more nuanced portrait? No. No, it doesn’t. See for yourself; Stockholm Syndrome is on You Tube, along with other Horowitz films/rhetorical questions like Do Cops Lives Matter? [sic] and Are Voter ID Laws Racist. First, let it be said that the full film is not without its merits, even if they’re accidental. Not since “ Bart’s People ” has a straight-faced voiceover been as unintentionally hilarious as the moment when Horowitz solemnly intones, over footage of a busker, “This man has been playing the accordion for several years, trying to bring some musical cheer to the suburbs. Yet he has faced numerous attacks.” Yet. But besides shedding light on the mysterious outbreak of attacks inspired by unwanted accordion playing, Horowitz serves up exactly the kind of information that informs most of Trump’s political thinking—which is ...
