Sweden may deport up to 80,000 asylum-seekers

Sweden could deport between 60,000 and 80,000 asylum-seekers in coming years, according to the country’s interior minister.

Anders Ygeman told newspaper Dagens Industri that since about 45% of asylum applications are currently rejected, the country must get ready to send back tens of thousands of the 163,000 who sought shelter in Sweden last year.
