Sweden to deport up to 80,000 refugees

Figure is just half of last year’s record number of 163,000 arrivals

Sweden is likely to deport up to half of last year’s record 163,000 asylum seekers, presenting a major challenge to authorities, interior minister Anders Ygeman said.

Between 60,000 and 80,000 people will have to leave, or 45% of the applicants.
