Giovanni Gaetani at the IHEU on Mishu Dhar:

Following the murders of several fellow bloggers in his homeland of Bangladesh, and having received death threats himself, Mishu Dhar came to Sweden in search of asylum.

The Swedish Migration Board has now rejected his application and decided to deport Mishu Dhar.

In a joint statement yesterday, Swedish PEN and the Swedish Humanist Association, Humanisterna, condemned that decision as contrary to the country’s commitment to protect freedom of expression.

The decision is baffling, from here. It’s not as if those people who went after a series of writers and bloggers were joking or bluffing.

In 2015, fellow blogger and activist Ananta Bijoy Das also had a visa application rejected by Sweden.
