Sweden has garnered respect around the world for the welcome it offered to thousands of Iraqi refugees after the invasion of 2003. It's taken more Iraqis than any other country in Europe - indeed one small town outside Stockholm, S枚dert盲lje, has taken more than the United States. But 3,000 of those refugees are now living in hiding. Their applications for permanent residency have been denied and they face deportation if they are arrested. Tim Mansel reports from Sweden on why the government has decided it's safe to send these people home.
