(Local) As Sweden continues to debate the fate of the roughly 150 citizens who have returned home after joining the terror group Isis, the government is under fire from critics who say it is not doing enough to address the problem.
When the issue was debated in parliament on Tuesday, the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD) called on the government to strip the foreign fighters of their Swedish citizenship so that they are either deemed stateless or are forced to apply for other citizenship.
“One solution is that they [Swedes who have fought for Isis, ed.] seek citizenship in another country that is willing to take them,” SD MP Adam Marttinen said.
The Sweden Democrats (SD) were not the only party to accuse the government of not doing enough to address the issue of returning foreign fighters.
