https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13846/sweden-more-migration Sweden's reintroduction of the right to family reunion for people granted asylum in Sweden without refugee status, entitles so-called "unaccompanied children" to bring their parents to Sweden. Many of these "unaccompanied children" turned out to be adults, not minors. (The dentist who contributed to exposing this inconsequential detail was subsequently fired).
Mehdi Shokr Khoda, a gay 19-year old Iranian, who converted to Christianity in Sweden after he fled from Iran in 2017, probably wishes that Swedish authorities would apply their "humanitarian approach" to his particular case. The Swedish migration authorities rejected his asylum application, claiming that Khoda is "lying" about his situation. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has executed "between 4,000 and 6,000 gays and lesbians", according to a 2008 British WikiLeaks dispatch.
As for Sweden's humanitarian impulses -- or lack thereof -- regarding persecuted Christians, there are an estimated 8,000 Christians under deportation orders hiding in Sweden, according to attorney Gabriel Donner, who has assisted an estimated 1,000 Christian asylum-seekers facing deportation.
