Sweden plans to deport integrated stonemason Ismat to Afghanistan

A 26-year-old stonemason, Ismat Musawi, faces deportation to Afghanistan despite having lived in Sweden for a decade and considering it his home. The Migration Court has ruled to deport Ismat, who arrived in Sweden as a refugee in 2015, is employed, and owns a home. His employer and others are contesting the decision, citing his skills and integration into Swedish society. The case highlights the impact of recent immigration policy changes, which have made it more difficult for those denied asylum to obtain residency based on employment. Ismat fears for his safety if returned to Afghanistan.
