World Refugee Day 2007 National Activities: Sweden

20 June 2007

UNHCR staff register refugees at the Douma registration center on the outskirts of Damascus. Registering with UNHCR ensures that the most vulnerable refugees receive aid.

Swedish NGO Paperless Stockholm organized a rally to demand residence permits and rights for all refugees. Up to 800 people attended the rally to support a year-long campaign against discrimination.
