Explanation of situation for asylum seekers in Sweden...
12 Jun 2008
I asked for asylum in March 2008 in Kållered, beside Göteborg. Already next day they took my fingerprint, photo and asked questions: how I came, how long I am here, did I stayed in other country, do I have family, why I ask for asylum...). Then I got paper with my photo which is like legitimation until I get LMA card.
First days already I saw that there is no doctor in center for acceptance of asylum seekers. People can come sick from their country or they can become sick during traveling. But we can just wait 7-10 days to get transfer in some flat and then we can ask there for doctor. In Kållered we can't get doctor except if someone get heart attack or something like it. That's what security man told me. I had big pain in my lungs so I could not sleep. Therefore I visited alone ”axess akuten” (urgent hospital) in Göteborg (S. Allegatan 6) but woman at reception refused to let me to visit doctor. She didn't accept my ”paper with photo” and told me that if I don't have EU passport then I must pay 1050 SEK to visit doctor. She didn't care for my health problems.
That day I visited Newspaper Library in Vasagatan 2A but again I was discriminated. Worker told me that I need ”social security number” if I want to use Internet. Only EU citizens have it, so my showing of ”paper with photo” was not valid for him.
During one day I was discriminated in 2 public institutions.
When man from Amnesty International came in Kållered, I said him for this 2 cases of discrimination, expecting from him to investigate such cases and to make pressure on authorities to change such things (in the end he get salary for work in AI). But he just answered: It is so, it is so, with nodding with shoulders, like that I should just accept it. Then he asked me did I came directly to Sweden or I stayed in some country and I answered ”yes, I came directly here”. In that moment he showed me that he work for Migration Office because they ask us the same questions in order to send us out from Sweden. I moved myself from that sold soul.
Later, when I got transfer, I visited library in Örebro and there was exhibition of AI about breaking of human rights in China. I was very angry because they don't want to register discrimination in Sweden and make exhibition about breaking of HR here.
In any case, when I got my room in one village, I got doctor and I got right to use Internet in local library.
There are also problems about room.
First, Migration office (MO) mix together people from war. For example, they mix Russian and Chechen, Serbian and Albanian from Kosovo, etc. One day somebody will kill somebody, but MO will be happy if people do such things.
Second problem is spying. MO has really network of people who are ready to cooperate with authorities in order to get right to stay here. Maybe that's reason why they mix people from war so spies do their dirty job. For many people MO can't get information about identity than with sending of spy who will ask the same questions like authorities or who will check dialect of language, etc. Even teachers at language course ask us some questions to check did we lied authorities. Already in Kållered, one man came to me and he started to ask me about factories in nearest city in my country. They wanted to check am I really from there. Plus 2 times he told me: don't lie authorities, if you lie them they will arrest you. MO don't have legal way to check identity of people from war regions (many institutions are destroyed) so they created illegal network of people who kiss them in ass in order to get permission to stay in Sweden.
From that moment I understood that MO created such network and they must give privileges to spies in order that they work for MO. It is clear illegal activity. Even secret agency and cops must ask judge for permission to spy somebody (they get it always, but they must ask) but MO don't ask anybody anything. They do it unofficially. Problem with spies is also that they can imagine lies in order to give themselves bigger role.
So after betrayer in Kållered, they sent me in house where they have co operant who speaks my language. He asked me minimum 15 questions which ask also authorities. After some time I refused to speak with him so they sent other one who will spy me. These days they sent finally one man from my country who cooperate with them. His job is to check my dialect because my language exist in more countries. Of course I avoid him, and he start to make problems because ”I don't want to be friend with him” but he know very good what he does. There are different betrayers and some of them can be violent if they can't spy. When I avoid them, I try to stop their trying to get privileges with making of damage for other people. Even I don't believe that MO give them everything what they promise them. Many people are stupid when they believe to those who works against us.
Beside everything, our space for living is very small. We got house with two bigger and two smaller rooms. They send us 8 to live in it. Swedish people, in houses beside us, are living 3 or maximum 4 persons. My opinion is that such houses are optimal for 4 persons and maximum would be 6 persons. But they send 8 people in order to keep money for the state (to avoid to pay rent for more flats). I think we have about 4 squaremetters per person, even prisoners should have 8 squaremetters (international standards for HR) and radio and TV. We don't get radio and TV. Flats or houses for us are usually in some villages. Nearest city is 40km and bigger city 80km. So we can't include us in society, we can't find people from our countries to make friendships with them, etc. Outside of flat, they stop our social life, inside of flat they destroy possibility for normal human relations when they mix people from war and when they send their spies. Only people who come with documents are not spied and only obedient people are good for authorities. Unfortunately many people are also afraid to make resistance because authorities can deport them.
I want to say also that I asked myself why workers in MO are called Assistant and then I understood: they don't assist to asylum seekers to explain their case better, they assist to migration office in order to spy people, to cut incoming money, etc. Even 2100 SEK per month is not enough for anything more than food. But people need money for cloths and social life and even to call their families in their countries.
I would like that someone gather information how many asylum seekers became little criminals (stealing of food and cloths in shops) after MO give us “so much money”. We don't have life like Swedish, we are far away from participating in social life in Sweden.
Everything together: bad situation. We are totally discriminated.
These days I will move myself to tent and to make camping in some city where exist people from my country. Unfortunately I lost 1800 SEK and there is no help about it, if we don't have money we musty borrow it, but other are not in possibility to give money so we don't have from whom to borrow. Next time when I get money I move myself from Sweden. Racist everywhere, not only in Migration Office than in Amnesty, in Library, in Hospital.... too much. Like Germany before 50 years. When someone don't have power to change things, better to move himself.
