Sweden – Migration Court of Appeal, 16 September 2011, UM 4801-10

Country of Decision: Sweden
Country of Applicant: Iran
Keywords: Persecution Grounds/Reasons, Political Opinion, Subsidiary Protection, Refugee sur place

The applicant, from Iran, had not been politically active in Iran but participated in demonstrations in Sweden and appeared with his photo on dissident websites and TV. The applicant was considered to have been engaged in low-level political activity. Thus, he was deemed not to be of interest to the Iranian authorities and was therefore not considered to be a refugee or in need of subsidiary protection on “sur place” grounds.
