Palestinian researchers condemn “kidnapping” of Muslim children by Sweden – Middle East Monitor
The Palestine Scholars Association yesterday condemned the Swedish social services’ forced removal of Muslim children from their families and says that it violates human rights. Anadolu reported.
“We strongly condemn and condemn what the Swedish authorities are doing to kidnap Muslim children from their families,” the association said in a statement, adding: “We regard this as a blatant attack on the Muslim refugees who came to these countries to escape harsh war. “
The association expressed “absolute solidarity” with the children’s families.
The association called on the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Arab Organization for Human Rights and all human rights groups in the world to take responsibility for preventing the oppression and persecution of Muslim immigrants in Sweden.
