A migrant from Eritrea with a long history of violent behaviour will be allowed to stay in Sweden after a court overturned his deportation order.

Ahmed Ibrahim Ahmed, 27, arrived in Sweden as a refugee in December 2018 after claiming to have converted from Islam to Christianity, and saying he was seeking protection from potential retaliation.

Since his arrival, he has been convicted of numerous crimes, including assault, threats, molestation, and attacks on police and prison staff. In many incidents, he threw urine and feces at officers.

In total, Ahmed has served six prison sentences and been involved in at least 196 reported incidents. His offences include attacking a relative over a religious disagreement, threatening neighbours with a knife, and assaulting police officers with a stone.

He also repeatedly assaulted guards and fellow inmates in prison. Staff at Kumla high-security prison stated that he attacked them almost every time he was removed from his cell.

In March 2025, Ahmed was arrested again after threatening neighbors in the town of Munkfors and assaulting responding officers. He was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison for multiple crimes, including threats, assault, and violent resistance.

Given his record, the Värmland District Court ruled earlier this year that Ahmed should be deported to Eritrea. The court argued that he posed a serious threat to public safety.

However, on Tuesday, July 8th, the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden overturned the deportation decision. The court acknowledged the seriousness of Ahmed’s crimes but concluded they did not meet the high legal threshold of “exceptionally serious” offences that would justify revoking his refugee protection under Swedish and international law.

As a result, Ahmed will remain in Sweden.

The case raises the question about how a person with such a record can remain in the country. It seems that Sweden’s legal system places too much emphasis on protecting criminals’ rights, even when public safety is at risk.

The case reflects a broader pattern across Europe, where national governments seeking to deport violent criminals or illegal migrants are increasingly being blocked by activist judges.
