The letter states that in the group of unaccompanied young people from Afghanistan, suicide and suicide attempts have become more common.
The letter emphasizes that these young people have gone to school, learned Swedish and in some cases even got a job and are willing to contribute to society.
- Even when the high school law came, we saw that it was an impossible law, it left the young people completely in the lurch.
Now it has become so, many of the young people are suicidal and there had been two suicides in Karlstad.
We believe that it is political decisions that can change this again, says Philip Johnsson, member of the Social Democratic Cultural Association in Karlstad.
Requires amnesty
The S-associations demand that the party should now work for the young people to stay, and that they should get permanent residence permits for humanitarian reasons.
- It is against all my principles as a Social Democrat not to show compassion for this.
This will historically affect the Social Democrats in the same way as the extradition once hit those who made the decision about it, says Philip Johnsson.
New bill from the government
Yesterday, the Social Democrats and the Green Party presented at a press conference a bill on what migration policy should look like.
It contains proposals to make it easier for unaccompanied young people to stay in Sweden.
Instead of having six months to find a job, they propose to increase it to one year.
The requirement that the job must be for at least two years is proposed to be changed to one year.
Before any changes can be made, the bill must be submitted for consultation.
SVT Nyheter Värmland has applied for the Minister of Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson (S) who declines an interview.
