Stockholm: Sweden, Norway and Denmark on Monday suspended decisions on Syrian asylum requests and deportations after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad.
"Given the situation, it is simply not possible to assess the grounds for protection at this time," Carl Bexelius, Swedish Migration Agency head of legal affairs, said in a statement.
The agency said that it would formally announce on Tuesday that no rejection of asylum requests or deportation decisions would be enforced during the suspenion. Similarly no decision on residence permits would be made.
Sweden took in the second-highest number of Syrian refugees in the European Union in 2015-2016 behind Germany, and the highest number per capita.
Of the 162,877 asylum seekers in Sweden in 2015, 51,338 were from Syria, according to Statistics Sweden.
