Asylum Seeker Chooses To Rely On A Power Much Greater Than The Swedish Government

Iranian actress, Aideen Strandsson, left Islam to become a Christian after having a dream about Jesus.

Since then, Aideen has been very public about her new faith, which means she faces prison, rape and death if returned to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“It is really dangerous for me and I don’t know why immigration doesn’t believe that. I’m really in danger.”

Aideen came into Sweden in 2014 on a work visa.

According Sweden’s migration board, “it will never deport asylum seekers to nations where they face danger, and doing so is a violation of the Geneva convention on refugees“.

However, it rejected Aideen’s request for asylum leaving her to face deportation if nothing changes in her favor.

According to Swedish attorney Gabriel Donner 

“The migration board information regarding Iranian prisons tell us that torture and rape is common and it is a breach of international law to subject any person to such treatment,” 

Her case has been appealed and processed by the Migration Agency and thereafter by the Swedish courts, which have also decided that she cannot be granted asylum.”

CBN News has received many offers of help and even asylum for Aideen from other nations. But Strandsson cannot leave Sweden. Her Iranian passport has been taken away. And she says her first choice is to remain in Sweden, if possible.
Migration Board head Mikael Ribbenvik could order her case re-opened, but Aideen is now relying on a power much greater than the Swedish government, the power of Jesus Christ.

“I think about that dream I had in Iran, about Jesus and I still think he is watching me” Aideen said. “He will help me.”
