The Swedish authorities are planning to deport a Syrian refugee at the end of his four-year prison sentence, despite him being wanted by the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad.
Samir Ahmad Mardini is imprisoned in the city of Sala having been found guilty of kidnapping and assault in a business dispute. His deportation is scheduled to be finalised on 17 January, unless the process is delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the Syrian opposition news outlet
Zaman Al-Wasl, which cited a source close to Mardini, Sweden has contacted the Syrian Embassy in Stockholm to check if he is wanted by the authorities and if his deportation will be accepted. The embassy apparently accepted the offer and said it is ready to issue a one-time travel document for him. Officials claimed that he is not wanted by the Syrian government and
