This is Shady.
Shady is 13 years old, he lives in the city of Hjo in Sweden and love to play soccer and basketball with his friends. Mathematics his the favorite class in school and when Shady grows up he wants to become an engineer or a basketball pro.
Two years ago Shady escaped from Syria to Sweden to be able to live with his uncle and his uncles family. The over three year long war in Syria has forced 3,8 million people to leave their home country. Half of them are children.
Now the Swedish Office of Immigration has decided to send Shady back. This decision go against the United Nations children’s rights declaration.
With this short text and images I hope to show that Shade is a part of the Swedish society and that media picks up this story in hope of changing the decision from the Swedish Office of Immigration.
