The Swedish Parliament is expected to approve a restrictive new asylum bill today, June 21, 2016. Human rights activists are concerned that the bill could harm the well-being of migrant children and undermine their opportunity to effectively integrate into Swedish society. The bill will temporarily roll back some rights currently protected by Swedish asylum law. "Sweden should not sacrifice the well-being of vulnerable children in an effort to make the country less attractive for asylum seekers," said Rebecca Riddell of Human Rights Watch.
