(Local) Sweden’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the deportation of a Palestinian man convicted of involvement in a 2017 Molotov cocktail attack on a Gothenburg synagogue.
The court overturned an appeals court decision, which halted a previous district court ruling to deport the 23-year-old man.
In its decision, seen by the Local, the Supreme Court wrote that the “Migration Agency has in this case deemed that there is no support for the argument that there is a concrete and individual threat against the man if he is returned to Gaza.”
Sweden recognized the state of Palestine — consisting of the Gaza strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem — in 2014.
