Sweden's Controversial 'Snitch Law' Proposal Sparks Opposition
News summary

A controversial proposal in Sweden, referred to as the "snitch law," aims to compel public sector workers, including doctors, social workers, and teachers, to report undocumented immigrants to authorities, potentially affecting up to a million professionals. Critics argue that this measure, resulting from a coalition agreement with far-right Sweden Democrats, could severely undermine trust in public services, deter individuals from seeking essential healthcare and education, and exacerbate the vulnerability of undocumented populations. Michele LeVoy from the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants condemned the proposal as "utterly inhumane," warning it would instill fear among undocumented individuals. Jacob Lind, a researcher at Malmö University, stated that the law might not effectively reduce undocumented immigration but could instead worsen the conditions and isolation of these individuals. The proposed legislation is expected to be reviewed by a government-appointed committee, with findings due by the end of November 2023. This development has sparked widespread debate around immigration control and human rights in Sweden.
