• The Institution of Asylum after 11 September

  14 June 2005
  The shoemaker I go to in Stockholm is originally from Syria. He is a Syrian national. He is a friendly and hardworking fellow and he and his family have lived in Sweden for eight years. He doesn’t have Swedish citizenship, but after mentioning to him that the law had changed so that he could apply for Swedish nationality, he said he would seriously think about it, especially after the events of 11 September. My shoemaker has a relative who lives in Montreal, and although he never visited his relatives in Canada, he told me he would like to. He also told me that he would like to travel to the United States but he is afraid of being arrested and detained by the authorities, quite simply because of his national origin.
