The Nordic states of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have agreed to cooperate more closely on the deportation of migrants who have entered the country irregularly.
Iceland is intending to deport about 200 asylum seekers, including one man with a physical disability, according to media reports. Several organizations are protesting the plans to send people back to countries where they may face persecution or poor and inhuman living standards. The law might be on their side.
For years, hundreds of people with refugee protection in the EU who saw no future for themselves in their receiving member state found a second chance in Iceland. This is now changing.
