Sweden passes 'good behaviour' law to kick out misbehaving immigrants
Yahoo • • world
Key Points:
- Sweden's parliament approved a law allowing authorities to revoke immigrants' residency permits based on bad behaviour, including unpaid debts, undeclared work, or links to extremist groups.
- The law applies retroactively to already granted permits and pending applications, as part of a broader tightening of immigration rules by the right-wing government and nationalist Sweden Democrats ahead of September elections.
- Critics, including opposition parties and human rights groups, argue the law is arbitrary and undermines the rule of law by targeting behaviour not deemed criminal and creating legal uncertainty.
- The government defends the measure as necessary to ensure that immigrants who misbehave or commit crimes are not allowed to stay, with the Migration Agency responsible for reviewing permits and decisions subject to appeal.
