  • 25 November 2017, Stockholm, Sweden: "Stop deporting people to a country that isn't safe", was the message as hundreds of people from all walks of life gathered at Medborgarplatsen in central Stockholm, to highlight Sweden's Refugee Day, and the way Swedish authorities keep persisting in deporting young people to Afghanistan. The event marked two years since November 2015, when Swedish government officials took a turn towards stricter policies for granting refugee status to asylum seekers, and so a range of civil society organizations, including faith-based organizations, now take a stand for more humane refugee policies. Fredrika Gårdfeldt from Katarina Parish, Church of Sweden, was one of the speakers. She emphasized the need for more humane processes, accompaniment of people through the asylum process, the need for housing to be offered to those newly arrived, and the way Church of Sweden work with the Stockholm Mosque and Islamic Relief in a project named "Goda grannar" ('Good neighbours'), which among other things, organizes language cafes for those in need of learning Swedish.

  • 3 October 2018, Jerusalem, Occupied Palestinian Territories: In May 2018, the Israel Supreme Court approved the Israeli Defense Minister’s order to demolish Khan al Ahmar. For many in Khan al Ahmar, it would not be the first time, as the village is home to a few dozen families from the Jahalin tribe, expelled from their home in the Negev to the West Bank in the 1950s. Khan al Ahmar is a Bedouin community located within the East Jerusalem Periphery, in E1 area. It is home to 32 families, 173 persons in total, including 92 children and youths. The community has a mosque and a school, which was built in 2009 and serves more than 150 children between the ages of six and fifteen, from Khan al Ahmar and other nearby communities. With due date 1 October 2018, Israeli authorities threaten to demolish the site, thereby making room for nearby Israeli settlements to expand.

  • 25 November 2017, Stockholm, Sweden: "Stop deporting people to a country that isn't safe", was the message as hundreds of people from all walks of life gathered at Medborgarplatsen in central Stockholm, to highlight Sweden's Refugee Day, and the way Swedish authorities keep persisting in deporting young people to Afghanistan. The event marked two years since November 2015, when Swedish government officials took a turn towards stricter policies for granting refugee status to asylum seekers, and so a range of civil society organizations, including faith-based organizations, now take a stand for more humane refugee policies. Fredrika Gårdfeldt from Katarina Parish, Church of Sweden, was one of the speakers. She emphasized the need for more humane processes, accompaniment of people through the asylum process, the need for housing to be offered to those newly arrived, and the way Church of Sweden work with the Stockholm Mosque and Islamic Relief in a project named "Goda grannar" ('Good neighbours'), which among other things, organizes language cafes for those in need of learning Swedish.
