Swedish authorities rejected asylum application for oldest refugee of the world.

She is 106 years old. Bibihal Uzbek and her family arrived in Sweden in 2015 after firing at the Kundus of northern Afghanistan by the Taliban. Their troublesome journey led them through Iran, Turkey and the Balkans before they arrived in Northern Europe. Journalists who met Uzbek in 2015 at the Croatian Opatovac camp and learned her story, they call it the "oldest refugee of the world" ever since. Since December, Swedish authorities had announced that family asylum applications were rejected – and at this time the Bibihal case of Uzbek had not yet been decided. But in May, the Swedish migration authorities also rejected her asylum application. When he learned this, Uzbek suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Bibihal Uzbek, according to her family is 106 years old. Now she lives in the small Swedish town of Hova, along with eleven other family members, including their nephew and Mummadullah son. The 68-year-old had to keep a part of her mother's troublesome journey to Europe. She is almost blind, stuck in bed, and she is almost unable to speak. By the end of the appeals procedure, the old woman will not be expelled, the Swedish migration authorities Deutsche Welle reported. But at the same time they emphasized that "advanced age in general is not a cause for asylum". In such cases, age, health and home conditions are taken into account. Swedish authorities draw attention to a European Court of Human Rights site. It was a case of Finland. The Strasbourg judges ruled that the Finnish authorities had not violated the rights of an elderly man who was deported to Russia. Argumentation of the European Court of Human Rights: Affected has access to the health system in Russia. In addition, Sweden has tightened its laws – due to the massive outflow of migrants in 2015. "After legal changes today there is much less scope to give a right of residence due to illness," said a Swedish representative of the authorities. Precisely these rules, previously imposed as temporary measures, are now thought to prevent the authorities from behaving in a humane manner, complains Sanna Vestin of the Association of Swedish Refugee Organizations.
