One-minute film. After fleeing to Sweden and rebuilding his life there, Azim is forced to leave after ten years—losing his home, his community, and everything he has built.
Azim Alizade was 14 years old when he was forced to flee to Sweden alone. He came to Kungälv, to his brother who had made the same journey two years earlier. This is where he grew up and where his friends, his security, and his community are. Azim is an active citizen who is deeply involved in his school and his sports club. After 10 years, he risks being sent back to a country where he has no one left and where his future is uncertain.
The security situation in Afghanistan has long been documented by human rights groups. Reports from the UN and Amnesty International show widespread violence and systematic abuse. Daily news reports tell of suicide attacks and brutal assaults on civilians. These are not abstract figures or distant conflicts. This is the reality for many people in a country to which Sweden continues to forcibly deport people.
For the third time, his application for a permanent Swedish residence permit has been rejected. Unfortunately, the Migration Court of Appeal has decided not to review the case, and Azim has therefore chosen to report this cruel decision to the UN Human Rights Committee.
