Hungary to take in Iranian Christian refugee if expelled from Sweden, says deputy PM
Change language:
Hungary is ready to take in an Iranian Christian woman about to be expelled from Sweden, the deputy prime minister, Zsolt Semjén, told the daily Magyar Idők.
After rejecting her claim for asylum for the second time, Sweden is about to deport Aideen Strandsson, even though her conversion to Christianity in Sweden could put her life in danger back home, Semjén, the head of government while Viktor Orban is on holiday, said in the interview published on Wednesday.
Hungary does not send any asylum seeker to countries where their ethnic, religious or political background may put them in harm’s way, he said.
Strandsson would be welcome to stay in Hungary pending the favourable outcome of procedures such as national security checks, Semjen said.
“We have always differentiated between economic migrants and real refugees. We’ll protect Hungary from a migrant invasion but help all those in real danger,” Semjén said.
This story smells bad…. FAKE NEWS alert
First off…WHY would the Swedes turn her down, unless there is something we do not know…I am glad Hungary will take her but I suspect there is too much going on behind the scenes, to even bother understanding or writing articles (sorry).
