Key Points
  • The Swedish government announced a halt to teenage deportations on February 25.
  • Ece Akkus in Karlstad was scheduled for deportation to Turkey that day but stayed temporarily.
  • Concrete actions are needed for the deportation stoppage to take full effect.

Ece Akkus was sitting at home at the kitchen table in Karlstad watching the press conference that would determine her future in Sweden. She was supposed to be deported to Turkey on February 25, but with help, she was able to stay temporarily. The exact decision made at the government press conference has not been detailed.

According to sources, today's decision could change her situation. Ece found out in the morning that the government would have a press conference. The announcement that teenage deportations would be stopped was met with mixed feelings.

"I am happy but at the same time sad," says Ece. Even though the announcement is welcomed, she cannot really expect anything before concrete actions take place. What concrete actions are needed for the deportation stoppage to take effect remains unclear.

"At that time, I will be really happy and then I can breathe a sigh of relief," says Ece. "I don't know for how long," says Ece Akkus regarding her temporary stay.
