Palestinian asylum seekers protesting outside the Swedish Migration Agency’s offices in Malmö have resumed a hunger strike and are demanding the right to stay in Sweden.

Around 50 Palestinians are currently on hunger strike in Malmö but up to 150 have taken part in a tent protest in the southern Swedish city over the past five weeks.“They feel tricked,” Åsa Svensson, a spokesperson for the Palestinian protesters, told news agency TT.“They thought they would reach some sort of agreement both with the Palestinian embassy and with the Migration Agency. And three people have also had their asylum applications refused,” Svensson said.
