  • People gathered outside Migration Agency offices in Stockholm Wednesday to demonstrate against the new wage requirement for getting or renewing a work permit in Sweden.

  • From 1 November, a person must earn at least SEK 27,360 a month to qualify, which means that some people living and working in Sweden will not be able to stay in the country.

  • ”We have to protest this”, Rabeya Lisu told Radio Sweden, adding: ”We are human, we are not trash”.
