I strongly believe that this is persecution against Christians from Muslim nations
Sweden is violating a United Nations human-rights treaty
in its attempt to deport a prominent Iranian actress who revealed her conversion from Islam to Christianity after arriving in the European nation
The planned deportation is part of Sweden’s attempt to tamp down the backlash to its admission of huge numbers of migrants from Muslim nations.
“In a worrying new trend...decisions on asylum appear to be influenced not just by human rights but also by government targets,
with little or no recognition of the specific persecution faced by Christian minorities in countries such as Iran,” Barnabas Fund said.
A lawyer working on her case, Gabriel Donner, told Barnabas Fund
the government officials “do not care” about injuries they may create.
“They have promised the public in Sweden that they will deport more people than before
and so they have to fill the quota.”
Donner said
many Swedish officials are so ignorant of religion and Christianity they assume it’s simply a lifestyle choice.
“A convert says, ‘I converted because of the love I received from Jesus Christ,’ and they almost
mockingly ask the convert, ‘What do you mean by love?’
They don’t understand the message in the Bible. It’s just completely alien to them,” he said.
The U.N. convention
disallows sending a refugee back to a nation where “they face serious threats to their life or freedom.”
