Do you support the action of the Swedish students who helped delay the deportation of a refugee to Kabul by stopping the flight?

Elin Errson is a courageous young woman. According to reports, she will be fined a hefty amount. I am looking to see if there's a Gofundme for her, I will definitely donate a months salary.

Agree or disagree with her action, she's brave and takes guts to do what she did. More people should stand up for what they believe in.

I think her intentions are very good and she was very courageous. But there needs to be more information about the person she did this for. Why did the court decide to deport him? What is there in his record?

I am sure there are people deported just for policies changes, it's not fair and they deserve a chance. The system is far from perfect.. there are also people involved in past crimes. There are war criminals who were given asylum in foreign countries and it really makes no sense for them to be there, and there are bunch of people who helped foreign governments achieve whatever goals they had in their lands and they get abandoned such as what happened to the Shia Muslims who fought with the US after ISIS started taking control of the region..Those Muslims were on hit lists and were begging to be taken to the US to no avail.

@Miram
This girl went out and brought an air ticket to board the flight. I don't believe it's criminal offence, they're deporting many refugees to Afghanistan based on policies. I think it's unfair, we should make room for those displaced by war.

It's unfortunate that countries directly involve in ruining Afghanistan are all silent.

@Random1Thoughts What policies did affect him? Which criteria of the legal process did he not meet? Only an honest and full answer to that can show if his deportation specifically was unjust.
I don't think hers was criminal offence. I think there is good number of asylum seekers who have a criminal record.
