Transitional Justice for Syrians in Sweden, why many cannot return to Syria as long as Assad is in power

Abstract [en]

This presentation sets out the anti-regime activism by Syrians in Sweden through their national networks and cooperation with Stockholm based organisation Civil Right Defenders for transitional justice for victims of the Assad regime. New Danish legislation in 2020 made it easier to enact forced return of Syrians to the Damascus region. This decision sent shockwaves through the Syrian community in Sweden. With the rise of right-wing support, the upcoming parliamentary elections in September and a Syrian embassy that still is keeping a tab on political activities by Syrians in exile, the fear has not subsided. The paper concludes with a reflection on the moral obligation of Sweden to protect Syrians at risk, in the light of the ongoing judicial process that was started with the filing of cases of nine complainants at the Swedish War Crime unit against the Assad regime.
