More than 100 people protested in Filipstad, Sweden, February 1 against the Swedish immigration board’s decision to deport a family from Chechnya. "Let them stay, let them live," protesters chanted as they marched. Several speakers from churches and charity organizations addressed the protest, along with a member of parliament from the ruling Social Democratic Party. Lawrence Morgan, representing the Róger Calero Defense Committee, also spoke, expressing solidarity and describing his tour in Europe, during which he has spread the news of Calero’s fight in the United States against deportation. "I will tell people I meet about your fight," Morgan said. The local Filipstad tidning newspaper covered the action and mentioned Morgan’s greetings.
