Sweden revokes refugee status after some refugees travel back home for holidays.
Sweden has triggered global debate after confirming that some refugees risk losing their protected status if they travel back to the country they fled. Officials say asylum is granted only when return is unsafe or impossible. When people voluntarily go back for holidays, authorities believe it challenges the original reason for protection. The policy has drawn strong reactions across Europe and beyond.
Supporters argue the rule protects trust in the asylum system and keeps it fair. They say resources should focus on people who truly cannot return home under any condition. Swedish officials stress each case is reviewed carefully and not automatically canceled. The goal, they say, is to stop misuse while keeping protection strong for genuine refugees.
Critics push back, saying life is more complex than policy rules. Some refugees may return briefly for funerals, sick relatives, or safer regions. They warn that fear and danger are not always constant nationwide. Human rights groups worry the rule may create fear and confusion among refugee families already trying to rebuild stable lives abroad.
